When applying the brakes there is noise. The calipers were not tightened which may cause more wear and tear on the braking system. Please provide details.
I am a mechanic for the city and want to report this to you as all of our cars have the line rubbing the frame at the rear and one has rubbed through. Ford has a recall for the brake line that rubs at the crossmember in the front. Ford factory rep. Was contacted and stated he has had other complaints but, the recall only covers the front. As a mechanic for the police dept. We see alot of problems before the public and feel that this is a real danger as the line will fail without warning. Thank you.
