I my rear caliper was stuck and was causing pad wear. So I changed the caliper and decided to go ahead and change rotor. I realized there was a problem when I could hear the rotor making contact with worn pads or so I thought. I did not hear any noise yesterday after replacing rotor pads and caliper, but today the same noise is back. It is like the rotor is rubbing something as it turns. I hope my description of the problem is understandable.

I just did a rear brake job and it was a big pain. I posted a question that never got answered about how many anti-squeal shims are needed but I think I fixed the problem. I have anti-squeal shims on the outside pad (one without the piston). That fixed the squeal when braking but my rotors were rubbing the support plates / clips the pads sit in. They were old and bent so I replaced them and the noise went away.
