Brake squeal in reverse only


Recommended Posts

I have a loud squeal happening from the front brakes ONLY when moving slowly in reverse, especially when turning the wheel, such as backing out of parking spots.  Otherwise there's no sounds from the brakes and they work as they should.  What could be the problem?

Hi New2Lincoln14 and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum. It could be any of many things. Worn brake pads, worn brakes in general, debris stuck on the pads, rust on the rotors, etc. etc.

 

Brakes are nothing to play around with, so it would be best to have your Lincoln/Ford Dealer or an independent shop you trust take a look. Or perhaps have a car-knowledgeable friend take a look first.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
