Need definitive answer for two discs stuck in 2002 focus wagon 8167267301?
What disc's are you referring too? If you are referring to Brake disc's, then it is probably the caliber and your brake system is contaminated with moisture. You need to flush the brake system, replace all brake fluid, and replace any defective parts. Any calibers that are sticking need to be replaced.
