Dragging brakes
I'm having a problem with the right front brake on my '89 F-350
dragging. It's and intermitent problem, but seems to occur when I am doing a lot of stops where I have to shut off the truck for a few minutes, then take off again. I live in the hills of WV and even though I have to use the brakes a lot going down the hills, that doesn't seem to make the problem show up. The truck had been parked for several months before I bought it and I had a probelm with it dragging when I checked it out, but it cleared up right away after I used the brakes a few times. I drove it home (about 550 miles) without a hitch, then the brakes started dragging again yesterday. The fluid looks a little dirty, so I was considering flushing the system and putting in fresh fluid, but the pads and rotors look fine. Thanks. |

Good chance you have a binding caliper here, or possiblly a collapsed brake
hose at the suspect wheel. "wvveedub" > wrote in message om... > I'm having a problem with the right front brake on my '89 F-350 > dragging.
