Default weird rear squeeking noise (possibly brake related??)...HELP

I started noticing in the last 2 days that when i am going slow and turning (without the brakes applied), i hear a slight squeek from around the drivers side rear wheel area. Im pretty sure this is the area i am hearing it from. I have 37k miles on my car, and around 20k miles i installed track brembos on the car. I have brake squeealing sometimes also when i brake at low speeds, but everyone says this problem is normal (i have hawks HPS pads in the front but the stock brembo pads in the rear)......I am just trying to figure out this problem that has just come up with the turning and hearing that noise problem. Any ideas? anyone else had this problem, remember it is happening when i am NOT applying the brakes......weird

when you're travelling slowly and hearing the squeak, are you applying throttle?

there's a TSB out for a loose axle bolt that causes a tiny rattling/squeaking noise... i have it but have yet to bring it into the dealer

if the sound occurs without applying throttle, then I'm pretty sure it's the brakes... did you have it installed professionally? i heard that with the hawks, you need to apply a bit of grease on the caliper to prevent it from making too much noise... although i don't know for sure... my hawks are sitting in a box in the basement

I have a TRACK w/ 22000 mls and have that same squeek on my rear passenger side. It doesnt do it all the time, and it just started recently. It does seem to change sound when I get on and off the gas. I DREAD going to those idiots at the dealer!!!!!!

I had the squeak on the driver's side one time. Okay, one time when the stereo was low enough to hear it

Any more information on the TSB? I'd definitely print it out and take it to the dealer with me...

i can hear the noise but not all the time, only when its quiet in a parking garage or whatnot, i also noticed it happens when im going straight not just turning but it sounds like it is coming from the rear drivers side? any clues (and no i got the CLICKING fixed from the TSB by the dealer)
