When I changed my winter tires and rims to the summers units, there was an up/down movement in the rear passenger side wheel. Thinking that this was over my head , I took the car to Dixie Ford for service . They said that they tightened up the bushing $100. As I drove away I heard a continuous squeel. I returned to have this looked at by the Ford mechanic wasn't available. SO I returned the next morning. They lubed the caliper and said that there might be a problem with the hub assembly and bushing.
So then I took it to CDN tire and they suggested pads machining rotors and caliper service. I agreed to the pads for now and they charged $190 for the pads and time. I again returned as the squeel was still there . They gave me another $200 worth of suggestions and could not guarantee that the noise would go away.
So I emailed the management at Dixieford and explained the situation. They had me come in again today for a second look. The asst service manager verified that there is a problem with the hub assembly and bushings and possibly rotor at an estimate of 600 + tax for one wheel.
ANy suggestions? Besides turning the radio up louder ?
The squeek goes away after applying the brake.
