Brake Roughness
Thickness Variation
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. Measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius approximately one inch from edge of disc. If thickness measurements vary by more than .0005 inch, replace the Disc.
Lateral Runout
Excessive lateral runout of braking disc may cause a " knocking back" of the pistons, possibly creating increased pedal travel and vibration when brakes are applied.
Wheel Bearing Looseness

Warning Lamp Indicators
The ABS uses two warning indicators to alert the driver of system malfunctions. The red BRAKE warning lamp will illuminate if brake fluid level is low or if the parking brake is applied. The amber ANTI-LOCK BRAKE warning lamp will illuminate to inform the driver that ABS has been turned off and normal braking is active. On models equipped with traction assist, the traction assist on/off switch light will come on to alert the driver that traction assist has been turned off.

Vehicle: 1998 Mercury Mystique LS 2.5 V6 GAS
Hydraulic Brake Fluid Color
Hydraulic brake fluid must conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 116. Under this standard, brake fluids are visually different from other automotive fluids such as transmission, power steering and engine.
Fluid color in a normal brake system may vary from its original color for many reasons. A brake master cylinder may show significantly different shades fluid color between the two brake master cylinder reservoirs. Color may also appear to vary between cast steel and die cast aluminum reservoirs. Some reasons for discolorati...

Drum Brakes -> Type 3 -> Precautions -> Safety Precautions
Vehicle: 1998 Mercury Mystique LS 2.5 V6 GAS
Safety Precautions
When working on or around brake assemblies, care must be taken to prevent breathing asbestos dust, as many manufacturers incorporate asbestos fibers in the production of brake linings. During routine service operations the amount of asbestos dust from brake lining wear is at a low level, due to a chemical breakdown during use. A few precautions will minimize exposure. Do not sand or grind brake linings unless suitable local exhaust ventilation equipment is used to prevent excessive asbestos exposure.
- Wear suitable respirator approved for asbestos dust use during all...
