Brake Delima

[fordguy_1]

I thought I needed to change my front brakes, turns out the old ones don't seem as worn out as I would have thought. I already bought wagner brakes, should I replace them anyway or stick with what is halfway used?

If you have it all apart just change them out, if not then return the other parts.

Why did you think you needed brakes??

The truck hasn't been stopping or even holding at a stop light like i thought it should. It has also been pulling to the left occasionally. come to find out the passenger caliper is shot so I replaced both and put new pads on since I had new calipers. Seems like it was easier than the brakes on my old 86' 6.9

the rubber lines to the caliper need replacing too.

No I did not use factory parts. Wagner brakes which I read on here were good, and autozone calipers because ford was closed and I didn't have a choice. But i will go to ford for the brake lines.

I appreciate the advice.

I was going to tell you to look at your calipers, also around the piston is a dust boot, kidna use a 90 degree angle pic and pop the boot off, if theres oil in them replace the caliper..Or bur a rebuild kit for like 20$
