Maybe it's the 17x11 wheels

Any debris in the shield?

This is on stock wheels

Hm

100% positive the hub is in perfectly

shooting in the dark here, as it seems like you've eliminate almost everything to do with the brakes/rotor/ebrake/wheels/etc.

the dust plates on the rear diff inputs/outputs can make that noise if they start rubbing on the case or something becomes lodged in them. i guess braking could cause just enough driveline movement to make the sound increase?

I'll take a peek at that. I just find it odd that this happened the day I did RTABs but it has had nothing to do with anything I touched when I replaced them

well if you replaced rtabs, then the whole trailing arm could be slightly moved compared to before, what might this effect? axles/stubs/wheel bearings would be on that list.

It's definitely a brake related issue.

The only thing it could be from that list is that the vent bore of the master is clogged.

Guide pins all lubed and crap?

[Earl]

Brand new caliper lol. Lubed to the T. Let's put it this way. From the hardlines to the caliper, there are no issues. 

Just noticed if I lock my brakes up to stop, my caliper sticks pretty good until I start to move. Something isn't allowing the pressure to relieve normally.

[straight6pwr]

coincidence it started when you did your rtabs?

[KaiserRolls]

Anything in the union? Maybe some crap in there?

[Earl]

Going to swap out the master tomorrow and do a full fluid flush to see what happens.

Moving the trailing arm to do the rtabs could have dislodged a chunk of something in the brake line. Is the little hard line that is attached to the trailing arm new/clean?

It isn't new but it is nice and clean

[Earl]

Noticed something I hadn't before. I was sitting in my car yesterday after driving it and could hear the pressure relieving in spurts from the caliper and then a simultaneous pressure relief noise coming from the master.

[KaiserRolls]

Id replace the engine. Just to be sure.

If it was the master, why would it happen on the caliper that's farthest away?

[Earl]

It is something not allowing the pressure to be relieved but the only things that could do that are the master and possibly the ABS. I have never seen something like this and it is frustrating lol

Maybe try and do a complete fluid flush at all 4 corners? Might help clear out any junk that is causing a blockage?

[Earl]

I'm just going to swap the master at the same time since it is only removing two lines and two nuts once emptied anyways. I have two liters of ATE Type 200 for doing this already as well. The extra liter is incase I have issues=)

Just turn your radio up louder so you can't hear any noises.
