Loud Squeak When Pressure Applied
I have a 2005 F150 V8 - I recently replaced my rear rotors (easiest job ever) and when I put everything back together I am now hearing a very loud squeak when I apply pressure to the breaks.
I have been riding on a bad rotor on my passenger side for some time and because I did not have the money I just kept changing the pads until I could get the rotors replaced. I have actually gone through 2 sets of pads in a years time meanwhile wearing the rotor down more and more. I have to admit that the rotor was completely worn when I finally decided to try and replace them myself.
I replaced the pads about a month ago so they were actually still in pretty good shape so I only replaced the rotors. Had I known it was as easy (and cheap) as it was I would have done it a long time ago.
Anyway, I put everything back on and test drove the truck. I have changed my brakes multiple times so its not that they are not on correctly. When I drove it everything felt OK except for the squeaking (very loud). I took everything off again and bled the line to get an excess air out and then tried again, same result.
Anyone know what it might be? I was going to replace the pads just to be safe and the guy at AutoZone mentioned that it could be the caliper or the wheel bearing. I don't want to just keep replacing things I don't have to so any suggestions are appreciated.
