    Hello,


    I replaced the rear shoes on my sister's 99 Elantra and
    noticed the squeaking noise coming from the back after a few weeks. I
    re-opened and cleaned the drum and parts with brake cleaner but the
    noise is still persisting. I was reading that I can place some anti
    seize on the rear of the shoe where it meets the back of the hub that
    might fix the problem but was wondering if this is being caused by the
    material on the Hyundai OEM pads? Any suggestions would be
    appreciated.


    Thanks,
    Nick

    Not being able to hear the noise, it's hard to say whether the cause is
    from the friction material or from the shoe backing plates rubbing on the
    rear brake plate.

    If you apply the anti-seize, put it on the three "pad" areas where each
    shoe touches the backing plate. Be careful to not get any anti-seize on
    the friction material or on the braking surface of the drum.
