    Detroit Axle / Dearborn Axle???

    Anybody ever use Detroit Axle/Dearborn Axle for parts? I recently purchased a pair of CV Drive Axles for my '02 XLT and have to say I am disapointed. These were re-manufactured axles so I understand they will not be perfect but I believe this is a bit too far. They claim to chase the splines...

    Brake Problems

    No, I didn't. The pedal was going to the floor before I blead the brakes. I thought maybe there was air in the lines, so I blead them. I have never experienced a master cylinder go like this. It was fine before I did the brakes. I did not open the system during the job so there should not have...

    Brake Problems

    I have an 02 Explorer with some brake problems. I purchased the truck 2 years ago and replaced the pads on all 4 wheels at that time, no issues. A couple of months ago we started to notice a heavy pulsing when the breaks were applied. No problem, I pulled off all 4 rotors and had them turned...
