Default Squeal !!!!

Had a "brake wear" come up on my 2002Ls430 and a little vibration in the wheel and pedal so i replaced all pads and rotors . When i got done i drove a couple blocks and a LOUD squealing started from mostly the rear passenger side. The brake wear light is still on and it squeals like hell and when i hit a bump i could hear a slight rattle .

Welcome to CL as a new poster.

Did they actually REPLACE the pads and rotors on the rear brakes? Unscrupulous shops have been known to charge for work they didn't do....or maybe they did the work improperly. The brake-wear light may (?) also have to be reset.

We have special forums, BTW, for the LS430 and general maintenance issues.

It sounds like the OP did the work.

you need to change the brake wear sensor wire to get the light to go out.i would double check your work for the wheel that is making noise.
