Ford Grunt Member 159 Member For: 22y 10d Location: Newcastle Posted 06/05/05 12:50 PM Share Posted 06/05/05 12:50 PM Got this annoying squeak in rear near hand brake cable. Not sures if only utes are affected.Local Ford dealer said it was a drum(?) where hand brake cable it, fills with brake dust (etc) then starts to squeak, to fix brake assembly needs to be pulled apart to clean and replace but was told it will develop again over time. WTF? They also said a fix was comming but didn't know when.The squeak is now getting farking loud, stops when braking. I can wait another 9k till next service im going to have to get it fixed.Anyone else had annoying problem or know about a fix or one comming?Cheers,Ford Grunt (Ben) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
