My 2005 4×4 Explorer 4.0 has recently had new hubs & bearings all the way round, & new barking brake shoes & hardware kit, rotors, calipers & pads on the rear, & while it's mostly quiet in the back now, it seems my rear passenger wheel wants to squeak/chirp in the middle of right turns. Very same wheel also had a new toe compensator link put on it before I bought it, & the TPMS sensor recently went out... Thoughts on the reason for the squeaking in a right turn??? Thnx
 






I just had a similar thing done to my car (rear brakes/front bearings) and I have a chirp now too, but at this age, it's simply another characteristic of the car (if human, my car would be an very elderly man)

That's sort of what I chalked it up to. Nearly 153,000 miles. '05 model. I'll definitely keep an eye & ear on it. But otherwise, I'll turn on the A/C which, knock on🪵, still blows cold, put some classic rock on the radio, & roll. Because Literally EVERYTHING is new there - from parking brakes shoes & hardware kit, rotors, calipers & pads, hubs & bearings. Only think left is the half axle, & unless the chirp gets much more pronounced... Chalking it up to old age. But ty for the reply. Gives me a lil peace of mind. Oh! Your thoughts on maybe an alignment helping, AFTER I put the rotors & semi-metallic pads on up-front, next wk... ??? But again... Much obliged for the reply.👍🏼
