I need to know if theres a way to adjust the brakes to make them tighter on the back. my driver side rear brake squeaks like no tomorrow on the slightest right turn. its only my driver side. from what i figured out is that theres a small gap between the rotor and brake pad and one side rubs on it every so slightly and thats causing my noise. my brake pads are super healthy and have plenty of "meat" on them so its not that. i already tried the brake stop goop crap but the gap is causing the sealant to fall off and make the noise again. is there anything i can do to adjust the pressure on the brakes to squeeze the pad to the rotor to eliminate my noise? or do i just gotta deal with it??

Is the caliper appropriately cleaned and lubed?

yup. when i swapped my rear end i cleaned everything made sure i got rid of rust,dirt,mud and crud from it then painted.
only problem i saw was kind of warped rotors?? towards the tops they fold out. like there was less wear on them.
like its weird. maybe i just need to adjust the parking brake on the caliper and properly mount it to the lever. when i was under the car the first time i noticed the driver side seemed to be shorter then the passenger side. maybe its cuz the spring in the parking brake part for the caliper??

Delco-Moraine or PBR's? Is the wheel bearing is good shape (if not, fluid will likely be weeping from the end of the axle tube, probably on the inside of your wheel)?

the wheels stay pretty clean except for the brake dust. idk bout the bearings. im saving up for a rear end rebuild since it looks like the cones are worn out...
calipers are iron
