Disc Brakes -> Rear Disc Brakes & Parking Brakes -> Troubleshooting -> BRAKE ROUGHNESS
Vehicle: 1992 Lincoln Town CAR Cartier 4.6 V8 GAS

BRAKE ROUGHNESS

The most common cause of brake chatter on disc brakes is a variation in thickness of the disc. If roughness or vibration is encountered during highway operation or if pedal pumping is experienced at low speeds, the disc may have excessive thickness variation. To check for this condition, measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius approximately one inch from the edge of the disc. If thickness measurements vary by more t...

Whenever new brake components are installed in the hydraulic system, it is recommended that the entire hydraulic system be thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid.

It may sometime become necessary to flush out the system due to the presence of mineral oil, kerosene, gasoline, etc., which will cause swelling of rubber piston cups and valves so they become inoperative. The procedure is as follows:

Flushing is...

Disc Brakes -> Rear Disc Brakes & Parking Brakes -> BRAKE DISC SERVICE
Vehicle: 1992 Lincoln Town CAR Cartier 4.6 V8 GAS

Disc brake service is extremely critical due to the close tolerances required in machining the brake disc to ensure proper brake operation.

Maintaining close control of the shape of the rubbing surfaces is necessary to prevent brake roughness. In addition, the surface finish must be non-directional and maintained at a micro-inch finish. This is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance and promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both the left and right brakes.

Do not attempt to refinish the rubbing surfaces unless precision equipment...

Power Brake Units -> Description -> BENDIX DIAPHRAGM TYPES -> Operation -> VACUUM ASSIST DIAPHRAGM TYPE
Vehicle: 1992 Lincoln Town CAR Signature 4.6 V8 GAS

On vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes refer to appropriate "Anti-Lock Brakes".

VACUUM ASSIST DIAPHRAGM TYPE

The vacuum assist diaphragm assembly multiplies the force exerted on the master cylinder piston in order to increase the hydraulic pressure delivered to the wheel cylinders while decreasing the effort necessary to obtain acceptable stopping performance.

Vacuum assist units get their energy by opposing engine vacuum to atmospheric pressure. A piston, cylinder and flexible diaphragm utilize this energy to provide brake assistance. The diaphragm is balanced with engine vacuum unt...
