Hello all, my bike has some weird creaking noise when I apply the rear brake and rock back and forth. When breaking while riding it doesn’t make noise and the rear suspension is silent and doesn’t creak. Anyone know what it could be? Brake rotors and calipers are tightly screwed on and I took apart all bearings (for the rear suspension) and cleaned and fatted them. Any ideas of where the noise could be from would be appreciated.

Have you greased the caliper mount bolts?
Check rotor bolts are tight could be the disc rocking back and forth on the hub.
So when you’re riding the bike, there is no unusual noise? I think just ride the bike man, it’s not supposed to have the brakes locked and rock back and forth unless you’re riding trials or something
