Last year I replaced my original front pads with Bendix brand. I did
not cut the rotors since they were in good shape. During the last
couple of months, my brakes have been squealing while driving. When I
step on the brakes , the squealing stops. I checked my calipers for
sticking, and they were fine. I swapped the inboard and outboard pads
on each side, and the noise went away for a week, but then returned. I
applied brake quiet compound to the pads, but that did not help
either.  I'm ready to try the Motorcraft pads to see if that solves
the problem since I do not believe
it's the rotors. I would appreciate any input. Thanks

Thanks for your input Brad, but the noise is coming from the front.

There was a problem with the front axle seals on the '99.  Mine
started squealing while still in warranty and Ford replaced the seals.
Never had another problem.

I had the same problem with the seals. I got that fixed. In that
situation, the squealing noise would occur regardless if you had your
foot on the brake or not. The problem I have is related to the brakes
