1 Brake Disc problem of the 1997 Ford E-150

Failure Date: 01/06/2005

Approximately every 15,000 to 20,000 miles I need to replace the front rotors and pads. The rotors are badly warpped. The dealer replaced the calipers, but that did not help. The rear drums are original equipment and has little wear. I have paid to have the rear drums adjusted regularly, in an attempt to improve the longevity of the front breaks. I have about 140,000 miles on the car and replace the front brakes 7 or 8 times. I did have one accident due to poor breaking, and the next day needed to replace the front pads and rotors.

3 Brake Disc problem of the 2000 Ford E-150

Failure Date: 12/27/2001

At 24075 miles the front brakes had to be replaced, the rotors also were turned but the pedal was not pulsing Ford just turned them anyway, at 35735 I needed new upper ball joints with allignment , at 38571 I needed a new tie rod sleeve . There seems to be a verry low standard of quality in both the brakes and the front suspension components there are no grease fittings supplied from Ford on the suspension components, this is a must if you want anything related to the front suspension to last especially when the vehicle is used for fleet purposses. Thank you greg.
