Re: 2005 Focus Brakes

by "K2NNJ" <k2nnj@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 11, 2008 at 05:36 PM

I will have them checked anyway next week when I have the tires balanced
and 
rotated.  But I think the suealing is normal.  If I remember correctly, I 
had them checked once before and I was told they we're fine.  This was at
a 
Ford dealer in NJ.

Thanks.
