Calipers or Pads Making Noise
I have adapted a set of C3 calipers onto a D44 TTB Ford axle that is in a Nissan Titan. Occasionally at low speeds through neighborhoods I can hear the brakes squeaking. When I press the peddle the noise goes away, but then comes back when I let off the brakes. I have greased the back of the pads, but that did not solve anything. The only thing holding the pads in is the pin that goes through both pads and a cotter pin. Is there more hardware I could be missing?

Brake pad squeal is usually caused by air in the calipers and the squeal you hear is caused by high speed vibration because of the air.
