Brake sqeak V70-XC70 2001

I recently bought a 2001 V70 T5. The brake pads on the front are new and have developed a squeak when the car is in reverse. The brakes will not make any noise when driving forward or braking...only in reverse. I have been told about a hardware kit with "rattle clips" that will stop this, does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
Bspeth

Are they Volvo pads? Did a Volvo tech put them in?

There are numerous posts about squeeky brakes, here and at volvospeed. Most if not all involve non-Volovo pads, installed by non-Volvo techs.

If you do a search, you will find that many people give up and replace the offending pads.

We have weathered MANY brake jobs, NONE have ever made noise.
