Hi, this is the first time posting on here but I've been reading through for about a month. So I just figured I would introduce my self. I'm matt and have an 01 explorer sport in which the motor has gone once at about 70,000 miles for an unknown reason but have put a little more then 3000 miles since the new motor and no more problems besides squeeky brakes which i can't seem to figure out and will have to investigate again once its a bit warmer out. thats about it.

Welcome To The Forum! The squeak you maybe hearing is a clip on the brake pads, when your brake pads start getting too thin there is a metal piece that will scrape along the rotors to warn you that you'll need brakes soon to get them serviced.

Welcome to this forum! Pull the wheels off to check the brakes.

i know what normally makes the breaks squeak but thats not what is doing it on mine. When i first test drove the car the breaks were squeaking so the dealer said the changed the discs and pads and the sound went away for a month or two but then it starting coming back a lot quieter and not all the time. so i took the brakes apart and checked the pads and they had plenty left on them i cleaned everything and put the anti-squeal stuff on the pads and put it all back together and was fine for a couple of days then it started doing it again and has just got progressively worse.
I only have one picture that I can find of my explorer so here it is... and you can see my 69 el camino project in the back a little.
