My problem is the left rear seems to keep some pressure on the piston when the brakes are released. I have just replaced the pads on the LR again and after driving it several miles the rim is very hot (much hotter than the right rear). I have replaced the caliper thinking that was the problem, it wasnt. Dont believe it is keeping full brake pressure on the LR because on level ground the car begins to move as soon as I release the brake pedal but it sure gets HOT. I dont have much experience with ABS, not sure if this has anything to do with my problem or if I overlooked somthing simple.

Lift the wheel and it should coast with a spin by hand. If not and with a hot wheel it probable won't. Try just realeasing some brake fluid out while it's sticky and if it frees up it's probably the flex hose.

Replaced the rubber line this morning and it works great. No more hot LR wheel !!!! I was trying to overthink that one Thanks Alot 94 Merc Sable 188k 91 Mazda 626 228k 89 Mazda B2200 177k 74 Torino Elite 70 Torino Cobra Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 5, 2006, 12:01 AM Post #4 of 4 (1330 views) Re: Ford/Merc ABS Question Sign In Thanks for letting us all know and it sure sounds like you are all fixed up.
