Brake Problems

[Bwade]

I have a '98 explorer sport with 91000 miles and been having this front brake problem for a while now. The veicle doesn't stop for crap. I replaced the rotors and pads 4 months ago. It is time for new calipers or is it something else?

Does the pedal feel spongy?

The pedal is a little spongy, bleeding the brakes was the next thing on my to do list

Your ABS unit could be going south, has your abs light been on at all?

 

[Bwade]

No abs light

Similar to the front, but you may have to retract the parking brake shoes to get the rotor off. You don't need any special tools.

If I were you, I would service the back calipers/pads/rotors and bleed the brakes right after. Also check carefully for any tiny leaks.

have you checked your master cylender to see if it is full of fluid?
