after reading about the groaning brakes
on the liberty jeep. hope maybe someone
can help me. do they make the caliper
slippers for a 97 mercury cougar? i have
had this problem since it was new. i had
the ford dealership do a brake job about
9000 miles ago and still does it. the ford
dealership said it was a humidity problem.
i don’t think they know either. my wife
has about drove me nuts with her complain-
ing about the noise. any ideas out there>

My wife has just complained about the same noise as she left the driveway yesterday.
I told her that after two or three brake applications the noise will disappear.
A half hour later at our daughters house she phones, the noise went away, what was it?
Overnight rust build-up on the rotors. Common problem ever since discs brakes showed up.
i thought the same thing about the overnight rust on
the rotors. i have removed the wheels and cleaned
the rotors. did not make any difference. i have
driven 100 miles and more at times, riding the brakes
hard stopping when i could, it helped some but still
it would still groan. i have a hearing problem, but
when i can hear it, it is bad.
anyone else got any ideas?
thanks

Hmmmmm, sometimes slightly worn wheel bearings will emit a groaning sound until they start grinding and squeaking.
