Metal on metal squeak ?????

[SeriousJoe13]

Recently loaded the boot of my e30 with some heavy bits and peaces and since doing so I've now got a loud squeaky noise coming from passenger rear wheel ? Sounds like something is rubbing on disc and it's constant as well so the faster I drive the faster the squeaking gets , also the noise seems to be 10x louder in reverse !? Due to over loading maybe ? Only carrying my new standard shocks and springs to be fitted soon , oh and the cars slammed by the way

No obvious connection with the previous heavy load, but, assuming you have rear discs, I'd be checking out the handbrake shoes to see if one or both of the locating pins and springs has come adrift from the back plate.

Yeh I have rear discs , if this is the problem is it a easy fix ?

If the pin has come away, it's usually because the backplate has rusted. You can replace the backplate for loads of cash and time, or you can do the Backplate Repair:
