So I did the brakes all around 1500 km since on our 2004 f150 4x4 fx4 with ford brakes and disks they squeal when aplying the brakestill I stop. but not while releasing the brake. Very frudtrating. I cleaned the disks with brake clean . What dif I do wrong or forget ?

I usually dont mess with buying ford parts from the parts house (unless i have to) id try a nice set of Ceramic pads (A little pricey) and make sure the rotors are in good shape.

There's a difference in Ford brake pads. If the pads come from a red and black Motorcraft box they are remans, not good quality and won't last as long, if they come from a cardboard box with a FoMoCo parts label on them, they are OEMs. I worked at Ford for just over 5 years and never had a problem with squeaking brakes after install using OEM brake pads with factory rotors. Also if I remember correctly the OEMs come with replacement hardware were as the remans do not. Don't quote me on that, it's been a long time since I did brakes on F150's to remember every detail like the back of my hand, I work on bigger equipment now. Double check everything and make sure nothing is rubbing the rotors. Check to make sure the pad sliders that mount to the bracket are fully seated as well and if these use "V" or "U" shaped return springs/clips that mount on top of the front pads are there(they assist in pulling the pads away from the rotors when the brakes are released), if they use them. You'll see two small holes on each front brake pad on top. keep us informed what you find.

what does I did the brakes mean... did you just swap pads ?? did you have the rotors turned ? did you install new rotors ?? did you brake the system open IE bleeding...

Replaced all rotors and pads with oem parts all four corners. Did not bleed the system. The are not draging just when applying the brakes they are making noise.
