what you have could be one of three problems. Check your reservoir to see if it has plenty of brake fluid, bleed your brakes,they may of lost the fluid while changing brakes. Also, if you have a vacuum leak it will cause your brakes not to work. Or it could be your master cylinder or your vacuum booster that has went bad. brewski
it could be the rotors
Check the lug nuts
you probly need new pads rotors jeck for dust on the brakes if so blow them clean with a compresor
The grinding could be coming from the rear brakes.
The front brakes on the Windstar are disc brakes. The rear brakes are drum type. You need to know exactly which parts need to be changed and why. If it is just the pads its pretty easy to do. But if the rotors are bad too, you will need to remove the calipers to access them then re-install the calipers with new pads. If you are not sure what you are doing seek advice from a mechanic
Sometimes you can have a a pulsation while the brakes are adjusting after you have turned the rotors. You could wait a couple days and see if it corrects itself.
I know on Jeeps they use a soft rotor supposedly to quiet the brakes. The average mileage for their rotors is supposed to be around 13,000. I changed my rotors and have not had this problem since and I'm going on 30,000.
It depends on your driving style and the condition of the calipers. If you ride the brakes or otherwise drive in such a manner as to cause the brakes to overheat, the rotors will warp prematurely. If you are constantly in stop-and-go driving conditions you will wear out the brake pads and rotors much faster than someone who drives greater distances and seldom uses the brakes. I've seen some people who get little more than 20,000 miles from brakes and/or rotors. My last brake pads and rotors had over 70,000 miles when I changed them, but then, we drive long distances here.
Have the front rotors turned on a lathe at a dealership. check brakes and rotors
Could be: 1) frozen caliper 2) restricted or ruptured brake line 3) Rear brakes not adjusted properly
I had the front brake pads and rotors changed on my 2008 Corolla LE and was charged $275.00
Maybe never,But if you let your brake pads wear out to where the brakes are grinding,You may have to.
