Ford Focus Scraping Sound

If you own a 2009 Ford Focus that exhibits a scraping sound from the rear it may be caused by a misadjusted parking brake.  The brake shoes may be dragging against the brake drums.

Ask your favorite technician to inspect the brake shoes for excessive wear.  If they are fine, a proper adjustment of the parking brake should stop the scrapping sound and stop the brakes from dragging.

Who knows with the brakes in proper adjustment you might see a gain in fuel economy.
