94 Explorer XLT braking problem
Please respond to: lalabomba@earthlink.net
When I brake, the Explorer (Daisy) now sinks a bit in the front and then pulls to the left. This becomes more apparent at higher speeds, but can be felt around 30 mph and above. Definitely you notice this on the highway. I took it to a mechanic who found a blown cylinder in the rear and replaced the cylinder and the shoes. Also replaced the fluid.
But he did not check the front calipers. Could this be the problem? Could one of them be sticking? If so, should I replace both front left and right calipers, pads, etc.?
The tires are all the same, and have about 15,000 miles on them. Aligned. rear shoes replaced about two months ago. When not braking, the car holds a perfect straight line down the road.
Thank you.
