Not sure if my mechanic used caliper grease?
Is squealing normal for these pads? Anything I should ask my mechanic to do to get rid of the squeal?
Pads will have to go if I can't resolve the squealing - its shocking.

Pads squeal with these pads is not common and we sell more of these pads for Fords than any other car on the road. These brake pads have no shim on the backing plate and when fitting them we use a ceramic or copper mix paste on the back of the brake pad where the pistons would touch to help avoiding any brake noises also the caliper slides should be checked. Bendix now have satchells of the ceramic paste available that could be purchased and also did the brake pads get bedded in correctly? Sorry for asking but did we supply the pads to you and if so can you PM me the invoice number please so i can sort something out to help you.
