JKU squeaking

Hey guys, I'm posting for my roommate. He has a 2014 JKU Sport and after wheeling a few days ago, there's been a constant metallic squeak coming from his rear passenger side wheel. We attempted to fix it by disassembling the pads and rotor and clean them but it didn't help. It's a pretty constant sound and most notable when it's in reverse. Any suggestions on what to try next?

are you sure its coming from the wheel?

You said most noticable in reverse...is this an Auto transmission??

Maybe if you could get a video of it...I cant think of what else to look at...

It seems odd that its louder when in reverse....why would that make a difference you know?

Well we checked the backing plate and it wasn't bent and there wasn't any rocks caught in there. We disassembled the brakes, rotor, and backing plate then pressure washed and wd-40d what we could. Still no luck. And he left to go back the Memphis for a week, says he's takin it to a shop. I'll keep y'all posted.

It's a metal on metal sound. Like a rock is stuck in the rotor and brakes. Its not a consistent sound and varies. Really odd. It's most noticeable when it's in reverse. I honestly couldn't say what else it would be outside of an axle problem.
