#1 just using vehicle. #2 brakes became spongy. After stopping vehicle I noticed brake fluid running on ground in front of driver side rear wheel coming from frame rail. It appears brake line is corroded. Vehicle has 100 thousand miles on it, and under carriage is rinsed as needed. A written request has been sent to klaben ford (kent ohio) request all broken parts. *tr updated 01/11/08. *lj updated

Front brakes, fade and extended stopping distance; there are float pins which keep the calipers centered over the rotors . They have seized up. The vehicle breaking was becoming sluggish. Repeated inspection of the front brake pads indicated their condition to be good. Eventually I decided to order new calipers with pads. These units came with 'new float pins'. Much to my surprise my calipers were good but they were locked in position because of the seized float pins. When the brakes were applied the pressure was to the inside pad only greatly lengthening the stopping distance. As the problem came on gradually I didn't realize how poor the braking had become until I rebuilt the system. The pins which need to slide for proper braking have little rubber boots to keep out road debris and water. These boots were not seated on the grove on the original caliper body. As the symptoms come on gradually there are other vehicles out there with severely degrading brake performance. Curiously the replacement calipers had a bag of spare parts.

I experienced a complete brake line failure and loss of brake use on my 2000 ford f350 super duty 4x4 pickup. Luckily, the failure occurred while my vehicle was being inspected by the state of new jersey. I had to have it towed to the nearest ford dealership where they proceeded to bill me extensively for replacing the main brake line.
