Ford Transit Connect new brakes squeaking louder in reverse after installation on Ford Transit Connect

Some Ford Transit Connect owners report experiencing louder squeaking from their new brakes when reversing after installation. This issue may stem from moisture on the brake pad or rotor surface, particularly in rainy or humid conditions. Additionally, accumulated brake dust and debris can contribute to the squeaking noise when brakes are applied. In some cases, if the new brake pads are of low quality or improperly installed, they may also cause this noise. Another potential cause is a stuck caliper, which may not release properly after the brakes are engaged. To mitigate these issues, owners are advised to check for moisture or rust on the brake components, ensure the quality and installation of the brake pads, inspect the calipers for proper function, and consider cleaning the brakes or applying copper-grease to the pads. Addressing these factors may help reduce or eliminate the squeaking noise when reversing.
