Sometimes if you put the wrong brake pad or cheaper pad on a vehicle they will squeal.
why does the squeak happen? The metal rotor that the brake pads squeeze together can sometimes vibrate, causing a squeaking noise. There are several ways to fix this:
Use a milk spray, lotion or cream on the back of the pads
Use sandpaper to sand off surface hardening of the brake pad/shoe surface.
Try a different brand of brake pad!
2nd problem hard into reverse
My first thoughts would be : ......... You need new shaft seals. If vehicle makes a clanking noise when backing up you may need to replace the U- joints.
You could buy these parts online from places like @partsgeek.com and @autowarehouse.com.
Have a reputable mechanic trouble shoot your problem 1st
