Brakes Question

You may have a partially frozen caliper. I've had to replace the RF caliper on my daughters '00 Taurus and the RF on my wifes '08 Escape. Machined the rotor & replaced the caliper... problem gone. Weird that it always seems to be the RF I hear of.

I will try push it out a couple of times, if it does not work then I get the GT brakes from newtakeoff.

the GT take off rotors are a good option, but you have to have 17" wheels. The calipers for both the GT and the V6 are the same, so you can re-use your V6 calipers but you'll need the GT caliper mounting brackets. If you do indeed have a stuck piston in your caliper you might as well buy the entire kit from someone like newtakeoff or other companies and swap them in. Otherwise find a set of GT rotors, they're cheap and plentiful. The hard part is hunting down the caliper mounts. Some Ford dealers still have them, some don't. Or look in a wrecking yard. I found some for our V6 from a person who had gone to a big brake kit on their GT. Paid $40 for the mounts and the rotors.
