2001 E250 van Triton V8 Front brakes

How long has it been making noise? Only from the front? Right left or both sides? All the time or only when the brakes are applied? Does it get louder with speed or remain constant?

Some possibillities other than the abs thing, some rust found its way onto the pads or the metal sensor/squeeler is bent and in constant contact with the rotor.

You will need to jack up each wheel and spin them by hand to narrow it down. A good ear and a close eye will reveal the culprit. Damn sounds like a forutne cookie.

Good hunting and let us know. :)

Good call, also be sure the backing plates arent rubbing or maybe pads in backwards, I have seen this
