1996 Explorer Sport 4.0 4wheel disc brakes. I started noticing a loud clanking noise coming from the rear of the truck when I would get close to the center median or on a bridge. I pulled off rear driver wheel to see that my Caliper is very loose and the whole thing along with the rotor...

Has anyone noticed that the parking break feels "clunkier" then when they first bought it. At first I remember the motion being very linear and smooth. Now it seems quite a bit clunkier. Any thoughts?

Hello to all ford explorer enthusiasts! This is my first post on this site. I will be as descriptive as possible. I got into an accident a while back during a bad winter blizzard. I slammed into a median at a 45 degree angle. The drivers side front panel was destroyed. The tire exploded. I...

I tried replacing the bulbs in my rear brake lights for leds. At first they worked properly but after a while they over heated and burned out. Could i add a resistor for when i hit the brake? Is there a fix for this or what? I already installed the reverse lights and Flashers with resistors...

My clutch/brake pedals were very stiff. It was at the point where I had to pull the brake pedal back up with the top of my foot. I was able to pick up the whole new assembly from Ford for about $150 CAD. After much searching, I couldn't really find a comprehensive guide to remove this from...

I got my Limited at the end of March. It has about 5,000 miles on it. When I'm going slow like at a drive-thru window and apply the brakes, they squeal. It doesn't happen if I'm driving at regular speeds and brake. Any ideas about the squeal. I can't believe that the brakes are going bad.

HI I was replacing my rear drum brakes when i noticed a leak in rear brake lines. Replaced them all, also new rear brake hose. The hose and front-to-rear line connection was so rusted (the connection in the bracket), there was no screw to screw.. :) Well the line broke and now i need a...

My Passenger side rear brake has been sticking off and on for about 2-3 weeks now, and has gotten worse. I replaced the pads, greased the sliders and greased the mounting bolts and it still sticks. If I jack it up and push the brake pedal it is very hard to turn the wheel. If i hit it with a...

Hello, I have an 05 Sport Trac with a serious brake problem. My front passanger side caliper is locked up onto the rotor and won't release. The real problem is it just did that and I bought and replaced the caliper with a new one two weeks ago. When I changed it out last time I also replaced the...

Hi guys! So I'm having a problem with my Parking Brake. I can push the parking brake pedal all the way to the floor, but nothing grabs at all. I had my dad watch near the rear left wheel to see if the cable moves at all, and it did, so I don't think the cable is seized. Could it just need...

Hopefully I am in the correct forum... My Rear High Mount brake light is working intermittently. when I first hit the brake pedal, all 3 brake lights work. I take off the brake and then hit it again, the main brake lights work but the high mount does not. If I continue to press the brake at a...

Hi, New to the forums but I've been reading for like the last week or so about my issue and have yet to find a fix so I'm making this thread. Here's my issue: My 98 Explorer XLT doesn't have working lower brake lights. The upper one at the top of the back window works while driving but...

Hello, I am new from Philly. My 2001 Explorer 4.0L SOHC XLS (automatic) sometimes buzz and hard to go backward though shift to reverse gear is very easy. I tried other gears 1, 2, D, none of them have similar problems. I searched here but not sure whether they're heating shield or transfer case...
