Vehicle: 1992 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8 V6 GAS

These models are equipped with a four wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS), Fig. . The system prevents lockup by automatically modulating brake system pressure during an emergency stop situation.

By controlling wheel lockup, the vehicle's operator can maintain steering control and stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance, under most driving conditions.

The ABS system controls the front brakes separately and the rear brakes as a pair, whenever wheel lockup begins. The brake pedal application force required to engage the system function may vary with road surface conditions. A d...

Should it become necessary to remove the caliper when installing new parts, clean all parts in alcohol, then wipe dry using lint-free cloths. Using an air hose, blow out drilled passages and bores. Check dust boots for punctures or tears. If punctures or tears are evident, install new boots during assembly.

The fluid displacement of the master cylinder is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems, Fig. .

If a failure of a rear (secondary) brake system should occur, initial brake pedal movement causes the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary p...
