Member 427 Member For: 18y 6m 29d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 16/11/07 01:52 AM Share Posted 16/11/07 01:52 AM Hey there everybody, my ute is starting to have squicky front drivers side brake when I press the brake on lightly, but if I push it bit harder it goes away. Its loudest when car is cold started. Got nearly 40k on the clock. Will ford consider doing anything under the warrenty if I take to them to have a look at it?CheersRuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a sedan and I have the premo brakes...It has plenty of pad left and I shoved the hose in there, which usually fixes it - but no dice. Not too sure if fraud would do anything about it???

It also has heaps of meat on the brakes and mine are just standard brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No much dirt in em but did stop the noise, not sure how long will it last like that.Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear how to get rid of this, I've heard squeeky brakes are kinda common among fords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
