Hi Everyone, I changed my brakes out on my 2012 Ford Expedition about 2 months ago. it was running fine for a few days but then started hearing some a high pitch squealing noise when I would brake. I have been reading and looking online and they say this can happen when you put the brakes on wrong. I do remember while changing the brake bads that I put the side with the ears incorrectly, I am going to fix it, but I wanted to know if I can just put them in the correct order or would I need to buy new brakes? I think i did it on both sides.

I don't know what you did there but you probably should leave the brake repairs to the professionals. That's not an area to be experimenting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Agree. If that was only a screech sensor for wear it really wouldn't matter but making noise already at 2 months you screwed up more than that. Just a pad slap in pads will usually make noise and not work properly. Lack of lube to parts and know where. Not for OTJ training + you don't just push back pistons to make room and if you didn't know that please stay away from doing brakes, T
