hey everyone, I have a 2002 mounty 4.0 AWD. 150,000. I changed the front brake pads about 2 weeks ago. and yesterday i notice a squeaking coming from the passenger front end at low speeds turning left. now today its squeaking almost all the time except when im braking. I inspected to brakes to just see if i did them wrong but everything looks good to me. THINK ITS THE WHEEL BEARING HUB????? Its not grinding its more of a squeak like a mouse. not sure and dont want to go threw changing wheel hub if its not that. any help thanks JOSH

did you get new rotors, get them cut, or just put the pads on? did u break in pads? low or high quality pads it all makes a difference?
 






Rotors are good rotors i had on it from before. still in goos shape. they are drilled rotors. and the new pads are the same as the last ones i had. EBC green pads.
 






thats why i was wondering and thinking it might be the hubs. original hubs with 150k miles on them im guessing they are probably bad?
 






never heard drums make that kind of noise,they tend to first hum,then turn to a metal crunching noise,imo i would of had the rotors cut before u put 0n new pads

do you mean you have never heard HUBS make that kind of noise?
 






i ment hubs sorry. if the pads did not break in properly u might have to buy new set
