What will happen if the brake calipers were put on the wrong side for 1991 Ford Tempo?

Bleeder screws would be on the bottom of caliper-making complete air evacuation either difficult or impossible resulting in a spongy pedal

Brake pads are grinding 2 days after replacing pads when coming to a stop it shakes the entire vehicle then sticks when accelerating?
Sounds like the caliber is sticking. I recommend you replace the front calibers and replace the brake fluid with fresh fluid from an unopened can. The shaking probably means the rotors are warped. Replace the rotors and brake pads along with the calipers on your front brakes you should be fine. I would suspect that your brake fluid has become contaminated with moisture. This moisture will cause the calibers to rust and stick. Make sure you tighten the lug nuts to the torc specifications recommended for your vehicle. Over tightening the Lugnuts will warp the rotors.ANS 2 - If I had that happening 2 days after a change, I'd be looking very seriously about something being done wrongly. Possibly the pads are not fitted properly or are the wrong pattern.
What can cause soft brakes ruling out master cylinder 2003 Honda odessey?
Generally speaking, soft or spongy brakes can be caused by - Wheel bearings that are out of adjustment Brake shoes that are out of adjustment Brand new brake linings that haven't 'bedded-in' yet Air in the braking system Other causes can be - Brake components not secured properly Worn or damaged self adjusting mechanisms Wrong brake components fitted Wet or damp brake linings Seized or partially seized brake components - wheel cylinders or caliper pistons Expanding brake hoses Brake system component seals leaking or not holding pressure and lastly................. Contaminated brake fluid or the wrong type of brake fluid ---------------------------------------------------------- Okay, that's quite a list, so lets get down to it........ Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Release the parking or hand brake. Clamp off all the flexible brake hoses and test the pedal pressure. If the pedal pressure is poor the problem lies with the master cylinder. If the pressure is good then release one of the clamps you placed on the brake pipes and check the pedal pressure again. Carry on until you release a clamp and the pedal pressure becomes poor - this will indicate the area on the vehicle where the problem lies. Refer to the list above to guide you to finding the solution to your problem.
1988 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme brake lights wont turn off?
you may want to make sure you have a DUAL(meaning TWO pieces of wire inside the bulb) filament bulb on the brake lights, if you just replaced the bulb and used a MONO filament bulb it will cause this to happen. If this isn't the case, you may want to take it to a mechanic to make sure the sensor that senses when you are pushing the pedal isn't stuck or out that would also cause the same problem.
What is wrong when the rear of the car is humming and squealing when you go on a highway but doesn't in town?

Why does the brake light and abs light turn on?

What would cause the brake calipers to keep sticking on a Honda CR-V?
check brake hoses. check brake fluid condition, if fluid is contaminated or mixed with wrong fluid, calipers can lock-up or stick. check caliper bolts, hardware, caliper brackets. replace if broken, bent, or missing.
You changed the front brake calipers on a 2002 ford ranger now the brake petel is soft what did you do wrong?
sounds like air is still in the system try bleeding system again
What will happen if you put your 1997 jeep wrangler brake calipers on the wrong side?
That shouldn't be possible the guides for assembly at the top and bottom are pretty clear. But if you should manage it anyways, the brakes will most likely come apart on the first time you use them.
What makes the inner brake pad rattle and move when ive replaced the rotor calipers and pads?
Pads not secured to caliper properly? Wrong pads installed?
Why does your car have to have brake fluid?
A car has to have brake fluid to allow for the effective operation of the brakes to stop the car. When we apply pressure to the brake pedal, brake fluid, which is largely incompressible, will transfer that pressure to the pistons that operate the in the calipers or the pistons that operate the brake shoes. Further, the fluid must be of the correct type for the system in which it is used. The continued safe operation of the brakes may be compromised by the wrong fluid.
When is tempo going to get out of jail?

What could be wrong if your 1991 Ford Tempo was jumpered wrong and won't start?
Have the alternator checked out.
Car pulls to right when braking?
uneven brake fluid pressure to one of the wheels, or bad/loose front end parts. brake culprits; bad brake hoses, frozen caliper brackets/slides, frozen calipers, or wrong fluid or incorrect fluid in the brake reservoir. suspension culprits; bad balljoint, loose upper or lower contol arm bushings, bad tire, or out of alignment.
2000 Plymouth Breeze Brakes you bled them bled them They still go to the floor and hardly is any brakes What is wrong with it you are stumped with the brake system?
It sounds as if there is not enough pressure in the system. This could be the result of a faulty master cylinder, or inadequate brake fluid. It is also possible the piston assembly in the calipers have a fault.
What is wrong with my 1996 ford thunderbirds brakes. I have installed a new booster and master cylinder. The brake pedal is very hard to push.?
Does the car pull to one side at all when you brake? Even if it doesnt, the calipers could be frozen open which causes back pressure in the lines, making it hard to push the pedal.
