Unhappy squeaky wheel 2006 4S?

I noticed that at low speed (5 to 20 mph) one of my rear wheel is squeaking. (Can't tell if it is happening at speed due to the engine and wind noise). I just had new pads put in, could the noise be cause by the new pad and maybe it will go away once they have been used a bit? Probably wishful thinking on my part...

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Thanks

Try making some runs where you can apply the brakes hard a few times to seat them in.

There is a video on youttube in regards to seating pads in properly, APD race is the author (or something like that)
Good luck

A light film of copper grease on the pad before installing should take any squeaking away, if it doesn't go away take it back to whomever installed them and tell them to act on it.

Thank you, I will. I am not sure if it is the pads or the wheel bearing. I am taking the car back to have it checked.

Tried that did not cure the problem. I will take the car in. I noticed that the car does not roll well downhill in neutral. I have a steep driveway and yesterday I put in in neutral to let it coast but it was very slow moving. It looks like the pads are very tight on the rotors. Is this a normal thing on 911's? I placed on of the front wheels on a stand and I could barely turn the wheel by hand. None of my other cars do that, but this is the only all wheel drive in my garage. Parking brake was set, but it should not affect the front wheels.
Sorry for the dissertation...I get carried away...

Thanks

Sounds like a bearing problem.
The pads can not be "tight" unless they do not push the caliper pistons back enough to seat the new pads in. (they might not fit at all if they do not do it far enough)
