Did you follow Ford’s recommended pad replacement procedure? From the factory service manual, or from an aftermarket repair manual like Chilton’s or Haynes? If not, suggest to secure a copy of the manufacturer’s procedure and double check your work. ---

Those are screw in pistons, did you force them back (C clamp etc) or turn them in to compress the piston??? And on a lot of vehicles one side turns CW in and the other side turns CCW in… Probably need two new rear calipers now…
