#10 of 19 hummm, by alli3 Jul 10, 2007 (4:28 pm)
i bought a used '93 for taurus recently. when i purchased it the former owner informed me that it needed a new break master cylinder. we replaced it and there is still no breaks in the car. Any ideas to what could be wrong with it? Replies to this message: callen66 (Nov 29, 2007 8:09 am)

Replying to: nancyemery (Jun 09, 2007 8:40 pm) I haven't bled a Taurus myself, however on another car I was getting air into the system through the caliper bleed screw. The solution was to wrap the screw with a small amount of plumbers tape to keep the air out while the bleeding was taking place.   Also, if you don't have one already, a brake bleeder works pretty well for that situation.
#12 of 19 sable problems with brakes and steering by aloomis Oct 29, 2007 (12:23 pm)
I have a 1997 Mercury Sable and I noticed when applying the brakes it is very hard to turn the wheel to the right at the same time. My husband changed the bearing assembly and pad on this wheel about a month ago, but I just noticed this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx

Replying to: alli3 (Jul 10, 2007 4:28 pm) Did you bench bleed the master before putting it on and then bleed all four others after? Are the pads in good shape? Any visible leaks?
#14 of 19 constant abs brakes by musky2 Mar 31, 2008 (4:44 am)
this is for a 2000 sable with 75000 miles. i had the car in the garage a while back having the abs system checked out, for which i was told every thing checked out. my problem is the abs system goes on almost all the time now when applying the brakes or if i run over a small bump when braking. the rotors and pads are in good shape. do the abs brake sensors go bad? or is it something else?

#16 of 19 Whining brake pad by robertsmeets Apr 14, 2009 (6:39 pm)
I have replaced rotors and pads on my wife's '99 Taurus Wagon and seem to have a problem with the outer pad on the driver side. Once the car gets up to about 25 mph the pad starts to whine. At first I had the metallic pad in there with a metal shim, it makes a horrible sound. I replaced it with a ceramic pad with a nitrile rubber coated shim, the noise is less but is still there. I have taken the brake assembly off several times and checked the pads, slides, springs, everything seems to look good but i just can't get away from that darn whining. I have the same setup in my '98 Taurus and have no problems there at all ......... any suggestions?
#18 of 19 93 Sable parking brake release cable by thomasoregon Jun 30, 2009 (9:00 am)
Does anyone know how to disconnect the old parking brake release plastic housing from the dash? The new one looks like it is held in with a clip but you can hardly see it behind the dash much less get a pair of needle nose in there.   Thanks.
#19 of 19 need exploded view 03 Sable rear shoe brakes by arowhead Aug 11, 2009 (5:56 am)
when I removed then they came apart with some pieces off. I need to see how they go back together. I have done many brake jobs in my life. this is the worst one so far
