Default Brake Noise:

Has anyone had a problem with this rear brake noise. I have new pads with plastic insulator on one side don't even think I can get an insulator on the other side if I wanted. The noise only happens when applying brake coming from pass. side starts out as squealing noise than as the brakes get hot sounds like a clunk like pad is moving back and forth. Is there a solution for this?????? I have a 1981 corvette c3
