Escort Brakes
Three years ago I changed the brake pads on our 1997 Ford Escort. Last year a mechanic told us that we needed new discs and pads. I was hoping to put it off until September this year when the busy summer was over, but the chatter was bad and I realized it would not pass safety inspection this June. So I got replacement pads as they were under lifetime warranty from Autozone, and bought new discs. The discs were so bad. I have never seen discs anything like that. After an exciting afternoon, everything is back together. The brakes feel great with very little travel in the pedal (before the pedal would go to the floor). Now if we could just resolve the transmission fluid leak in the Windstar (without finding out that a new seal is needed!).
