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

Continental
The anti-lock brake system prevents wheel lock-up by automatically modulating brake pressure during an emergency stop. It allows driver to maintain steering control and stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance under most conditions. The traction control system controls wheelspin by modulating engine torque and applying or releasing appropriate rear brake to restore traction when driving on slippery or loose surfaces, Fig. .
Sable & Taurus
The anti-lock system (ABS), Fig. , controls each brake separately. The brake pedal force required to engage the system may vary...
