Yesterday my calipers started dragging. Acceleration was weak and the car wouldn't roll with the clutch pushed in and me on a slight downhill slope. My first thoughts is the calipers, but both brake seem to be dragging equally.

This is the 2nd time this has happened. I am not too familiar with the power assist feature on this car. I am more familiar with the vacuum-assist brakes.

Anyone had a similar problem? You think it is calipers or something higher up?

So the Mustang has sliding calipers instead of floating calipers?
