BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR Ford Taurus X AUTOMOBILES
Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported Ford Taurus X cars and light trucks from 1990+.
Disc Brakes -> Rear Disc & Parking Brakes -> Brake Disc Service
Vehicle: 2008 Ford Taurus X Limited 3.5 V6 GAS
Disc brake service is critical because of the close tolerances required in machining the brake disc to ensure proper brake operation.
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 promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both the lefthand and righthand brakes.
Do not attempt to refinish the rubbing surfaces unless precision equip...
