Brakes ????

I did a brake job about 2000 miles back and now i get a rubbing and gringing from my left side,and some times righ rear. when I did the brake job i put on new pads and reworked each rotor. Did i get bad pads or what?? Its a 2000 F150

I'd pull the wheels and check the pads. If they are worn then worry about it. If not then something check the rotors runout. Scratches in the rotor might be the source of the squeak.

Usually you get a rust edge that will cause the squeak and grinding noise. Check the brakes first, if ok, take the truck out and hit the brakes hard about 3-4 times. It knocks off the rust edge.
