Ford had a few revised fixes and the fixes worked on some sports. But many others still had brake moan after the fix. Sounds like Ford is off working on another revised fix. Sounds like ppl are stuck with the noise until a new fix is released later.

My '16 F150 been in garage since new and lug nuts are swollen just from periodic car washing.

The noisy Manual Park Release Cable Ford came out with second revision in '22. I put that one on mine myself $50 delivered. Silent zero noise nothing. Point is the engineers at Ford do work on the defects and in the case of the noisy cable they solved that one. The second revised TSB...

With previous TSB one bushing goes on top and one on bottom so they were location dependent. Saw a Ford tech do a youtube on the correct repair.. One bushing tech really struggle to get into place.

The caliper bushings are location dependent so its questionable if all the service techs actually do the repair correctly. My guess some do some don't. But sounds like Ford is working on a good fix. Just like Manual Park Release Cable there were two revisions. I installed latest revised...

But Badlands with factory 235 tires come with a 225 sized spare? Limits on how long smaller spare can be used?

I guess dealer says its normal? And yeah brake dust left on wheels too long can ruin wheel finish.

If you have a Leaf Blower on hand you can blow air through the wheel get some of the water off the brakes after washing. I leaf blow after wash get water out of creases around lights door handles ect and gives a jump start to drying.

If rotors arent warped and not groved you can rough them up with 180 grit sand paper and new pads will seat fine. But rotors have to be in good shape for that to work. I have done it a couple of times no noise brakes work fine.

5 hours? I would think a competent experienced mechanic with the car on a lift and a shop full of high dollar tools could knock it out in one hour or so?

Ford released a TSB recently which instructs dealer service to replace rear caliper bushings to fix the noise problem. Prior to that dealers didn't know how to fix it.

And they had the bushings to fix yours. Now ppl are reporting dealers say parts back ordered?

Other ppl on this forum have had the rear brake noise TSB fix done so at some point they had the pin/bushing brake parts. Maybe they ran out of them? It appears the caliper is binding on the pins causing brakes to stay engaged hence the noise. One would think disassembling and greasing pins...

Here is a post about the TSB for brake noise...

I have changed brake pads in past and used 180 grit sand paper on sanding block to rough up the rotors knock the glaze off. Then clean rotors with Brake Parts Cleaner. Has worked well for me for cases where rotors not warped and still have uniform surface.

Maybe have someone stand outside and listen as you drive by?

Sounds like brake squeak to me. Like a glazed spot on brake rotor and rotor slightly warped. Take back to dealer?

Not up to taking to the dealer and get the 'its normal' or 'we dont hear anything' or 'not covered' or 'cant look at it until next month' type of ordeal? You know like 99 percent chance dealer will not do anything and hope you go away and never come back...

The 235/65R17 Wildpeak A/T3W that Falken sells is the Ford spec'ed tire. You can't get a A/T3W in that size any other way. Falken sells one A/T3W in that size and its the Ford spec'ed tire with lighter sidewall and slightly diff tread pattern as soec'ed for Ford. Thats how Falken decided to...
