Take the tire off and push the brake while you look at it, then see what makes the noise.

Grease anything that is needed, be it the slides or the metal tins.

There is a TSB from GM for the rear brakes from 99-06 and 07-13 for the rear brake slides and front brake slides. Their brake lube dries and locks up the slide. Go to napa and get the Purple Brake Grease (High heat formula ) and the issue is gone.

Sounds like something is maybe hanging up on the right side.... Which pad is worn more the inner or outer.... You may need to replace the right caliper is youve already replaced the left....

You also have to remember that the parking brake is inside the rotor . Did you clean and lube the parking brake assembly?
