brake pad question
Went and got new tires on the supercrew. Went going through parking lots or simply driving i hear a loud squeal like brake pad squeal. I put brand new wagner ceramics on the truck. Also if i turn to the left the driver side rear sounds like brakes are dragging against the rotor. Whats goin on with this. The squal will happen between 10 mph to 20 mph and the grinding noise will happen if im crusing or turning to the left. It goes away when i apply the brakes. Please help. Thanks a ton.

Take the wheels off and look for incorrect assembly.
There is an inner and outer pad and they only go on one way.
The loaded caliper has to set on the upper and lower mount support bar and their stainless steel shim covers.
Maybe a shim is out of place.
Look to see if the discs have rust/wear high rings in the inner and outer surfaces that is not allowing the pads to seat on the disc without wearing in to meet the disc surface.
I'm not trying to insult you but you did the job.
When there is a problem you always go back and look at what you have.
Good luck.
