Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 2007 Ford Explorer cars and light trucks from 1990+.

Disc Brakes -> Description -> E-Series -> Edge & MKX -> Escape & Mariner -> Expedition & Navigator -> Explorer & Mountaineer -> Explorer Sport/Sport Trac -> F-150 & Mark LT -> F-Super Duty & Motorhome -> Freestar & Monterey -> Front -> Ranger -> Rear
Vehicle: 2007 Ford Explorer XLT 4.6 V8 GAS

The friction of the brake pads on the brake disc causes the slowing of wheel rotation and the vehicle. Fig. .

Rear
