Well, my car has the 13" Bullitt Brake Kit with the stock Motorcraft pads that came with it. I've had them on the GT for about 12k miles or so. The brakes never squealed or made any noise of any kind. Even took the calipers off a few times to do stuff and re-installed them with no issues.
Anyways, i took the car in to the Ford dealer to get my ball joints and outer tie-rods replaced. Made a hell of a difference form the worn out ones that were on ther. After that, i drove to the wheel shop, got my black saleens and got them put on along with new tires.
After getting all these things done on the car i noticed the next day that my brakes started squealing when coming to a stop or just braking moderately.
Whats weird is if they begin to make noise, i can either slightly back off or brake a tiny bit harder and it goes away. Also, they make noise at all the first 3-5 minutes of driving and then after a while it begins. What could be causing this and could the installer of my ball-joints and tie-rods simply have over-tightened my caliper bolts causing the squealing or done something else?
I know that ceramic pads sometimes have this affect and other pads do it when worn out but these only have 12k miles on them and by the way they still grab, i KNOW they are nowhere near worn out and i believe the stock Motorcraft pads are not ceramic.
Any Suggestioons? Possibly just unbolt the caliper and re-install or what? Thanks in advance guys and gals
