So before I proceed, I just want to state that this is my first Mustang so excuse my stupidity if the answer is glaringly obvious.

I took my Ecoboost PP to the dealership to get the brake squeal addressed. They said they replaced the front brakes and rotor. I didn't really notice a difference when I picked it up but the brake squeal seemed to be gone.

Today I noticed that my rear brakes looked a little weird so when I went up close, it looked like it didn't have the rear caliper cover?? The rear rotor also looks much skinnier than the front. I've washed my wheels many times before and I feel like I would have noticed this before if they were always like that. I'm hoping they didn't do it wrong, but let me know if I'm crazy! :headbonk:

I've attached some images so you can see. The order of the images:
TSB, front wheel, front wheel caliper, rear wheel, rear wheel caliper.

Looks perfect. Rears are smaller than front. There is no caliper cover.

I'm glad to hear, thanks guys. I could have swore there was some kind of cover on the rear one but I guess my memory is failing me.

Nope! Seems to be gone. I've been purposely trying to make it squeal but so far I haven't been successful, whereas before it would happen easily.

Very cool. I already have about 2,000 miles with the new rotors and all is still perfect. You'll catch yourself cringing cause you expect the squeal and then nothing. :thumbsup:
