Ford Fiesta persistent squeaky brake noise despite multiple inspections on Ford Fiesta

Problem overview

Some Ford Fiesta owners report experiencing persistent squeaky brake noises despite multiple inspections, which can indicate underlying issues. These noises may manifest as rotational squeaking, squealing, or chirping that varies with vehicle speed. A common cause identified is the lack of proper lubrication between the rear shoes and backing plates, which can lead to increased noise. Additionally, some owners find that changing the brake pad compound to a different type may help eliminate the noise. Thorough inspections of each wheel and cleaning of all brake components are also recommended to ensure they are in good condition. Furthermore, the squeal may be attributed to ineffective brake pad shims that fail to absorb noise and reduce resonance. Addressing these factors may help resolve the persistent brake noise issue effectively.
