Brake Question

Hopefully someone here can help. Im getting an awful squeak from my drivers side rear wheel which seems to be caused by the brake pads moving around inside the caliper. I didnt relize it but all the wheels do this due to the pads being held in by pins running through the calipers and brake pads. The noise is very pronounced from the drivers rear though.Im wondering if anyone knows of any hardware to fix this problem on a 1980. The brakes are really new. Has anyone else this problem?

Thanks

They sell a little grease pack for about .99, I put it on the pin and on the back of the pads, the side that comes in contact with the calliper pistons. This stoped my squeak and chatter that I had from my new pads. I have a 69, might work.

If the grease does not work, you can buy plastic anti-squeal devices. Looks like a two inch long drinking straw, sliced length-wise. It slides over the rear of the pad.
