I have a early 99 f-350. I have had the calipers rebuilt, new pads, and front end aligned. I have a pull to the right that I need to turn the wheel about 5% to correct. It is frustrating. I have taken it to different shops and nobody seems to know what is going on. I have read several posts tonight that say brake calipers can stick. I will check mine tommorrow and regrease the slides. Can you tell me what is the proper grease to use on them? Also after cleansing my K&N filter in soapy water, what kind of oil do you put on it before reinstalling it? Thanks for the help Frank |

K&N sell their own oil to relenish the filters, try your K&N dealer Dave |

Search for a recent post by FMTRVT and then click on any of the photo links in his signature line. Jack has an extensive library of photos some of which deal with the differences in brakes between early 99's and up. One of these, I recall commented on the grease for the slides. On edit: Look here.

Ford Grease, but most auto parts stores carry Brake Caliper Silicone grease. Do not use a petroleum based product, as it will do this.. Pulls can happen due to the pins or pistons hanging up. Regrease the pins and push the pistons in to free them up. Don't have to go far and do one at a time. You don't want to push all the fluid back up to the reservoir. Aftermarket pads can also cause this issue, depending on the disbursement of ingredients, and with a dragging caliper, even OE pads will develop a higher effectiveness on one pad. If you can, you could switch pads left side to right side to side at the same time. A shotgun approach, but you've covered all the bases in one teardown. |
