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.

Vehicle: 2002 Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 GAS

Pressure bleeding is recommended for all hydraulic brake systems. Ensure all dirt and contaminants are removed from master cylinder area prior to removing reservoir cap.

To prevent air from the pressure tank getting into the lines, do not shake the tank while air is being added to the tank or after it has been pressurized. Set the tank in the required location, bring the air hose to the tank, and do not move it during the bleeding operation. The tank should be kept at least one-third full.

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
