How do you adjust the front calipers for a ford windstar 2000?
The front brake calipers are not adjustable. The brake assembly is designed to be self-adjusting. That's why it's really important to ensure all parts, locating pins, slides, etc are clean and properly lubricated. Another factor is that the brake piston, and cylinder are working properly - no grooves for the piston to get hung up on.
What causes your brake caliber to go bad?
Answer: Brake calipers (front or rear) normally "go bad" because the dust seal was not replaced, thus allow dirt to get onto the piston as the brake linings wear down. When you go replace the linings and DON"T clean the piston, it allows the dirt to damage the caliper bore. NORMALLY, brake calipers leak and can be overhauled with a few sealing rings, and a good bleeding of the brake system.
