Fg Brake Squeel And Rear End Tick

[Z2TT]

HI.

I got a pretty low KM FG Xr6t, has the factory brakes on it all working well, stock suspension with lowered springs.

The first thing I noticed is a clicking, like a plastic shim or metal washer loose type of noise in the back, but more so noticable when reversing out of driveway but not in drive, that went away.

Later on the brakes began squeeling when you come nearly to a stop, sometimes louder sometimes very subtle. It's not your general squeel that most brakes make, but more of a beeping noise. Doesn't do it when at speed but mostly just when your coming to a stop.

At the same time I began also hearing the first rattle/tick, but this time while driving, taking off, cornering, it did it only once when reversing in my driveway but then not again.

The tick noise I'm unsure if it's a strut making it and the squeel I'd like to know what it is.

Just thought somebody here might have had same Issue on a FG so can help pinpoint it easier

rather than have to have ford mechanics taking everything apart to find whats causing it.

Cheers.

For that rattle/tick noise check the spring stainless that helps keep the pads in place. I had some buggered ones on a subie of mine and had basically the same issues your explaining.

The squeal could be related to that or it may just be the pad type.

check your wheel nut tourque. incorectly torqued nuts can cause clicking noises (drove me nuts until I took the wheel off and put it back on and it fixed it self (confimed later) and might also be effecting the brakes

my FGF6 has the same clicking noise from the front brakes as well it only started when I put DBA cross drilled rotors and bendix street and track pads in it and I have had both wheel bearings/ hubs replaced thinking it was that but still the ticking , clicking noise

My rotors tick with OEM got used to it close the window and turn up the radio. Happens with cross drilled slotted rotors. Only really noticeable when going though a tunnel or a cars next to me doing about 80k.
