- 2016 Ford Explorer XLT
I have a 2016 Ford Explorer XLT with a 3.5L V6. I changed the front brakes and rotors a few weeks ago and used OEM brand for both. Now there is a squeal that comes and goes but is mostly constant. It starts when I take off and will stop squealing at various speeds. Occasionally it won't stop squealing until I press on the brake pedal, not hard, but lightly and the squeal stops for a few seconds and starts again. It happens most at low speeds 10-30 mph.
I have removed the wheel and checked everything I can think of. The dirt shield is 1/4 inch away from the rotor, the wheel doesn't move when I try to see if the wheel bearing is bad or moving, nothing is contacting the rotor at all that I can see.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what it could be?
