BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2004 Ford Taurus AUTOMOBILES
Disc Brakes -> Front Disc Brakes -> Brake Disc Service

Maintaining close control of the shape of the rubbing surfaces is required to prevent brake roughness. In addition, the surface finish must be non-directional and maintained at a micro-inch finish. This is required to avoid pulls and erratic performance, and to promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both the lefthand and righthand brakes.
Do not attempt to refinish the rubbin...
