I remember shortly after I got my '06 that there was an issue with the rotation direction of the rotors. I had them switched out and no problems. The rotor in the pic is correct according to the MoCo.

There was a service bulletin on this long ago. If the brakes squeal, swap the rotors left to right and vice versa.
