Default home brake job

i just replaced the front rotors and pads and I bled the two front calipers for my 1995 automatic.

Do i need to bleed the rear calipers too ? I only worked on the front cause when i would reverse
there was a terrible shriek and there’s no noise or dust from the back wheels.

Technically no, but this would be a great time to replace the brake fluid and bleed all four corners.

If you didn't replace any of the calipers why bleed the brakes?

This. If replacing only pads, no need to bleed.

I agree. I just worked my entire braking system (except the ABS unit), and I can tell you, the old master cylinder had some junk in it.
