Brake Problem, THanks
Alright, I took my 1997 F150 5.4 L into the shop and had them check the brakes to make sure everything was cool and to flush and replace the fluid in the rear end. The guy said that the brakes looked great and they DID NOT squeak before I took it in. As I was driving home, they were working great but SQUEAKING like crazy. I was wondering if he could have put them back together wrong or whats going on. Is there anything I can pick up at Auto ZOne to fix it. Thanks guys

Normally, a shop pulls the wheels off to do a visual on the pads; no disassembly is needed. I'm wondering if the tech got greasy fingerprints on the rotors; if so, try wiping them with brake cleaner and a rag. You may have to pull the wheels back off to do a good job.
Parts houses sell a compound to stop squeaking pads, but again, unless the tech removed the pads you shouldn't need this.
