Your brakes are warn out or your plastick wheel cover is not on right
This problem is caused by disc brakes that have a fluid leaking from the calipers. You can buy loaded calipers an install to the car to fix the problem.
Warped front rotors are the most likely cause
Smoking brakes usually indicate a stuck caliper or improper install on pads/shoes. Have you calipers checked and make use they move smoothly.
not unless you want to change the rotors and calipers and a bunch of other stuff
It could be bad brakes or bad wheel bearing.
Nope, the same routine, right rear, left rear, right front, left front.
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
You probably have a rusted up piston in one or more of your brake calipers. This will not let the brake piston return and release the pressure on the brake shoes. Jack the car up and turn each wheel to find the one that will not turn. Then remove and replace that caliper. If you are not mechanically inclined, you will need to get a mechanic to do this for you.
The calipers or wheel cylinders are bad.
Yes. If your question is regarding the operation of the calipers. They do operate in the same manner as the front calipers.
If the brakes are disc brakes then try opening the bleed screws on the calipers and see if the pressure releases if not then remove the calipers and replace because the piston is probably frozen or you can try pushing in the piston with a c-clamp,if that doesnt work replace the calipers as noted. If the brakes are drum brakes then check your brake cylinders to see if they are leaking if so you can usually rebuild them if not then replace them and bleed your brake system to get brakes back to normal, you can also make sure your drum brakes are adjusted correctly.
The calipers are stuck, or they are cheap brakes, or somebody got oil or grease on the brakes and disks.
All brake hoses and calipers must be intact and hooked up to bleed any brakes. You cannot do it with hoses removed.
Remove wheels Re-install 2 lug nuts to hold rotor in place Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor Use a "C" clamp to fully retract piston into caliper body Replace inner and outer pads Re-install caliper PUMP BRAKE PEDAL TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTOR PRIOR TO MOVING VEHICLE
first remove the calipers from the carrier then remove pads then calipers can not be pressed in you must use a tool to turn them in, then reinstall in reverse order
Brake calipers are what house the brake pads and fit over the rotor. If you are working on the brakes, usually the calipers need to be taken off in order to work.
no. if you want to upgrade your brakes from a different car then use the Eclipse GSX brakes, or a 3000GT brakes. but you have to replace both the rotors and the calipers.
Remove the tire and wheel from your 1994 Plymouth Sundance. Remove the brake assembly spring. The brake pads will come off. Reverse the process to install the new brakes.

When you bleed brakes it is necessary to bleed each caliper in turn.
If you are new to doing drum brakes, then remove the drums on both rears and do one side while looking at the other side for reference.
Check the pistons inside the calipers, usually they are the reason brakes lock up.
theyre calipers and pads.. easy to swap em out.. theyre calipers and pads.. easy to swap em out..
