Hey y’all. My SUV is a 94 Ex XLT 4.0L OHC 2WD 4DR 300,391 mi. The following symptoms presented on 3 occasions between May and Aug 2019 on roads with speed limits of 55 mph and under. steering pulls to the left; shakes some steering wheel drives 15° rt of center won’t shift into 4th gear...

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am at the end of the line with my 2011 Ex limited, 110k miles. Problem- about once in every 10 times driving it, and only in stop and go traffic my brakes go VERY soft. I mean so soft that I can push down to where they end. ( I always know it’s...

How many of you guys would like to put the s197 gt500 or S550 base gt 4 piston caliper (with 13-14 gt500 14 inch rotors on your explorers? There's a guy I've been in contact with and he's not trying to do a mass production or make a ton of money but if he could get 5 or more people to join in it...

Hi there! Let's jump right into it... Wasn't liking the way my brakes were feeling; had an occasional "click" down there if I pressed the brakes and turned the wheel the right way....... so, I wanted to change my calipers and brake pads. Upon inspecting the calipers that were already on...

Hello, I live in a hilly area of Los Angeles. I'm sure driving down long hills generates a lot of heat in the front (and rear) pads. Last week I was cut off on the 405 freeway causing me to apply as much pressure on the brake pedal as I was able to muster. The abs went off and I avoided...

Can you remove and grease the front caliper pins without having to compress the caliper Pistons? I'm changing the front bearings tomorrow and I also want to grease the pins while I'm at it. I also have to use two brands of bearings unfortunately as usps lost my package that had the inner...

Soooo. Pretty straight forward. Driving today out on the town.. got some smoking from the driver's side hood/tire area. Hopped out and gave it a looky and could see the origination of the smoke was coming from behind the tire, right around the rotor/caliper area. Also was...

I have done a lot of research on upgrading the front brakes of my 93 Explorer with those from a 95 Ranger. I really like the idea of the dual calipers and larger rotors. TedJ's write-up "1st Gen 4wd to 95-97 Ranger Brake Swap Info/Parts List" does a pretty thorough job. Thanks Ted...

I just replaced my front Rotors and Pads yesterday, as well as a caliper and hose on my passenger side. On the passenger side, the front side of the rotor was as thin as a piece of paper. I had it looked at and was told to replace it. I replaced them, and I just looked at the rotor, and noticed...

MGP caliper covers....not impressed so I bought a set of MGP covers for the Sport . I finally got time to install this weekend . I put them it against the front caliper and it looked pretty good . I slide the clips onto the caliper and notice that they are not tightly secure to the caliper ...

Hello, So when I say complete I mean it!!! My car started pulling sharply to the left when stopping, so had it checked out. Calipers are sticking but since they are stock. rotors are below min, and pads are going because the calipers are sticking. Finally they say lines may need to be...

I'm new to the forum and I'm not sure where I'm supposed to ask questions but I'm gonna try here! I just bought a 94 Explorer, I got a good deal on it so i figured why not. Here is my problem... When I go from park to drive or park to reverse it does nothing it just stays stuck unless I...

I have 1996 Ford Explorer. One of the rear calipers is seized. I have the caliper removed from the rotor already. Just wondering how do I plug the bolt when you remove the brake line so it doesn't leak out the brake fluid?
