Rear calipers

WVSNS& · October 31st, 2011, 08:12 AM

Is it just my car? Seems I have replaced rear calipers five times now...today makes the fifth time. On the 01 Cobra seems to be an issue...the pistons freeze. Not sure what it is. Any one else had this?

No car should have rear calipers needing to be replaced that many times. Are you sure your e-brake isn't locking up on you?

Thanks for the suggestion. Talked to some ford technicians and they want to look at it to see if there is an issue either I created or just happened. There was a recall on the cable or a mechanism relating to it several years ago but I was told that it was addressed. We'll see. The new calipers out back do work well though. Tires tomorrow and an alignment...expecting things to get better.

I think your e-brake cable is hanging/sticking.
