I have a 2000 Excursion, all of the sudden the front breaks started smoking. I replaced the pads and put a rebuild kit with v-springs and new slides, this has not helped.
I was told by a local auto parts store to replace both front calipers. Is it possible both sides go out at once? I don't think that is the problem, any suggestions?
Any comments/suggestions on this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance. |

Do your brakes work? Does it pull to one side? Does the smoke smell like brakes or burnt fluid?

yes the breaks work, and it smells like burnt rubber. No it does not pull just a shaking steering wheel like the pads are stuck to the rotor. And it runs at a higher engine RPM.
One time it does this instantly and the next it is fine for a mile or so then starts.
thanks for any suggestions! |

I guess it could be something to do with the ABS. The shaking in your steering could concievably be due to the ABS pulsing as it does when you have a hard stop.Sounds like your brakes are locking and if your rpm's go up-something is telling it to either down shift or to increase engine rpms. I would be more inclined to think electronics could be a problem. That's just shooting from the hip.. Have you used an OBD tester to see if there's a code??? |
