17togo Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I love my 08 focus but I have a slight problem. I have had it into the shop 3 times to fix a squeek or chirp coming from the rear of the car. They changed the right shock but that didn't fix the problem. Anyone else out there been down this road and come on "squeek free"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDuff Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The e-brake cables need dielectric grease smeared on them where they go through their brackets. The bracket is a metal wire loop in front of the rear wheels. I've also tried PVC tape where the cable passes through the bracket but motorcraft xg-3 dielectic grease seems to work the best. Only happens on the 08's for some reason. The bracket design hasn't changes in years, but the 08's are the ones customers complain about.
