Could be a defective master cylinder--Ford had this problem a few years ago when the brake fluid got warm and expanded (Normal) the master cylinder would not allow the expanded fluid to return the the resevior--causing brakes to drag and eventually seize until fluid cooled and relaxed the calipers The car was driven too long with the brakes on. Was the parking brake engaged while driving? Bad calipers can cause sticking too. The metals on the brakes have become so hot that they have "welded" themselves together. Have a professional replace and repair the brakes.
Possible wrong rotors???
remove tire calipers brake assembly then pull your rotors off i would recomend putting new brake pads if your putting new rotors you will need a special puller for the rotors cause they are pressed on
your brake rotors are warped. You should repalce you brake pads and have the rotors resurfaced if possible, or replaced.
About 30 each for rotors and 2 hours (or less) in labour.
Yes. Although it confuses me as to why you would want to use old rotors for a brake job. New ones are cheap.
Disc brakes by their very nature can be noisy due to the high heat and pressures they work in. As you depress your brake a great deal of heat is being generated and holding the brake keeps these parts from vibrating however, as you release the brake , there is enough play to allow this vibration. Chances are your brake rotors have enough wear so they can no longer absorb this heat like they could when they were new. If it is troublesome I would replase the brake rotors and pads.
Break rotors heat up very fast while drive and stopping, todays technology in my sense isn't the best on rotors. If you have a heavy foot and brake hard, that will contribute to warped rotors. Sudden stops will also case warping. Most brake Specialist (Les Shwab) recommend on new cars, and new rotors to brake easy, (light foot) on your new rotors for the first 1,000 miles of the rotors life. That way they have time to brake in.
Braking would deteriorate and you could damage the rotors.
i would suggest getting an m.o.t I suspect the brake rotors are warped. Machining or replacement of rotors is necessary to correct that problem.
You probably have a warped brake rotor. New rotors are fairly inexpensive, I would replace both front rotors and brake pads while your in there. The calipers and sliders along with the brake hoses and lines need to be examined also.
Front Brake Rotors can be a pain, I would recommend going to your local Pepboys, Kragen, O' Reilly's or AutoZone Near you. They will need your year and model of vehicle.
Normally this is caused by warped brake rotors.
You either have a bad brake caliper or the brake hose is bad.
A frozen brake caliper or if you just instaled new brakes and rotors you might have oil on the rotors as they need to be clean before installing.
IMO, no, I would not buy them.
Normally this is caused by warped brake rotors.
could be bad rotors, or brake pads wearing unevenly, which would result in bad rotors.
Normally it means to bring it back to factory specs. An example would be to machine brake rotors. They would pretty much cut the rotors with a machine to get them back to factory specs.
I would suspect you have warped rotors. They can be removed an trued at any machine shop. Replace the brake pads at this time. Be sure to torque the lug nuts to factory specs. Over-tightening the lug nuts can warp the rotors.Warped rotor. Re-grind or replace.No: Bleed brakes - remove brake fluid in controlled environment to remove air - check calipars and pads also---- The rotors are very likely warped.Either have the current rotors 'turned' if there's enough thickness to do so, or simply replace them.If you're doing that much, might as well just do a complete brake job.
Warped rotors. Driving using the left foot to brake causes the rotors to heat up. Quenching the hot rotors by driving thru water will cause them to warp. The warped rotors cause the pedal to pulsate.
I just paid $500.00 to replace all brake pads and the front rotors
The most likely problem is warped rotors. Have rotors turned or replaced. Replace front brake pads.
Because the front rotors are warped. You might want to replace the rotors or resurface it.
You probably have severely warped front brake rotors. Machining or replacement of the rotors would be necessary to correct the problem
