Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2001 - Disc Brake - Pads Will Smoke If Do A Hard Stop

2001 supercrew 4x4 all wheel disc brakes. Driver side brake is stopping harder than all the rest to the point that the pads will smoke if you do a hard stop
thought it was the caliper sticking. Replaced caliper and mount. Still same problem. Thought possibly there was air in the lines. Bled all 4 brakes several times. And still the driver front wheel still stopping harder than the rest. I wouldn't think it would be the master cylinder.

Tiguan :: 2009 - Brake Squeal / Replacement Of Pads?

Second time my Tiggy is going back - first time I was told to speed up to 50 or 60 MPH and slam on the brakes and that appeared to work for a while, but now, I feel like the neighbors are going to file a noise complaint on my brakes!

There was mention of a TSB - just wanting to see how to be able to get that number and if there was any other solution, minus the replacement of pads as they have plenty of meat on them still.

OK, I just got back from having pads and rotors install on my '99 Passat. I was expecting this to clear up the brake and abs light problem but it did not. The brakes still feel mushy and the ABS light still comes on.What should I check? In the brake forum people suggested bleading the brakes, is this the next step? Any quick how to?

Golf V R32 :: Anti-Rattle Spring Damage After Replacement Of Brake Pads?

I took my R to a local mechanic to have my rotors turned and my brake pads replaced (RedStuff). A couple of days later, I noticed a loud noise coming from my front passenger wheel well when I was driving, and the pitch changed when I hit my brakes. It appears that the anti-rattle spring was not reinstalled properly because it has fallen in between my caliper and rotor, causing damage to the rotor and my aftermarket wheels. Since I'm not much of a DIYer, I wanted to get your opinion on the situation and how I should approach things with my mechanic. How hard is it to properly install the anti-rattle spring?

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Front Brake Pads Touching The Rotors / E-Brake Engaged And In Park

I noticed the front brake pads were touching the rotors when I was painting the brake calipers. I had my e-brake engaged and in park. I'm assuming the e-brake only brakes the rear wheels because the front rotors were still movable. Although the car still rides fine but I'm not sure if this is normal.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Loud Screeching Noise - Brake Pads Replacement On 2008 AWD

I'm having issues with very loud screeching noises on my 08 awd. Sounds like a garbage truck. Lexus said its $625 to replace brake pads and rotors to stop the noise. I'm not really a fan of DIY so is that a fair price for the parts and labor or should I bring it somewhere else?

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Brakes Started Squealing - Front Pads Replacement?

A week ago my brakes started squealing badly. This past weekend I pulled off the offending tire to take a look and sure enough the squeeler is riding on the rotor so it looks like I need to replace the brakes at 53,000km.

The rotors look good so I plan to only replace the front pads. While I am working on it, I am going to disassemble and preform the TSB on the rears as they have been neglected lately.

What pad material should I go for, metallic or ceramic? Ideally I would like something that has good performance, yet had a good life span. I occasionally pull a 2500lbs (dry weight) braked tent trailer, but that is not very often.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Getting Front Brake Pads Into Caliper - Springs Kept Popping Out

03 f350 4x4. New front calipers and pads.

Wondering if there's a 'trick' to getting the front brake pads into the caliper . Those damn springs kept popping out. I'd get three of the four ends into place in the pad holes then one would pop out while I'm trying to get the fourth in.

After about a hour of trying every different way that I could think of, another set of hands came by and with four hands holding things in place, it finally did the trick.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Front Right Brake Caliper Locking Up

My buddy has been having a strange problem with his 275,000 mile 2003 F150 2wd. The right side caliper will lock up out of the blue and will not release for anything. We put 3 news calipers on it within a 4 week period thinking that we had a defective one but no change. I am thinking either a bad brake line or, more likely, the front abs block...

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Front Brake Chatter When Cold

My 97 F150 4.6 4x2. I have a semi-rough front end "chatter" when the brakes are first applied after vehicle has been sitting overnight. It feels like it comes from the front disk brakes, I assumed it was a warped rotor or loose wheel bearing so I replaced the front rotors (old were to thin to turn), new wheel bearings and pads. Still had the issue, so I then assumed it was a bad caliper... replaced both those, and all related hardware. Still have the issue!

I can not reproduce the event until the vehicle is in the cold state and it will only do it once or twice, so I am finding it difficult to diagnose. Tired of blindly attacking this issue by changing what I thought was obvious. F150, 130K miles, 4.6l, automatic, 4x2, rear drums, front disk

Golf/GTI VI :: Front Brake Pads Wearing Unevenly

Today as I was adding pressure to my tires I noticed the front brake pads were wearing unevenly. Both outer pads wore the same. More "meat" on the inner section of pads than on the outer, evenly worn, just sort of slanted down as you move out towards the outer rim of the brake disk.

Is this normal? What would cause this? Should I have it looked at? I've never seen anything but even pad wear, perfectly parallel to the brake disk.

Edit for these pictures to clarify.....

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Rear Brake Pads Are Worn Out

Well I had a flat today, but that turned out to be a good thing. I noticed the rear brake pads are worn out. They are not metal to metal, but close. I have been looking at Rockauto, Pepboys and others. The funny thing is they never prompt or list different pads for the SRW vs the dually.

Are they the same including the parking brakes shoes? I was going to go with the OEM material or should I go with a ceramic pad?
