brake calipers.

Has anybody had problems with rear brake calipers. Right out of the blue my rt rear brake caliper went out and took everything with it. Caliper, pads and rotor. All the other pads have a good amount of pad left. The X has only got 57000 miles on it.

Thanks
Jim

Nope, not with the pads.

But my front rotors won't stay true. So I'm about to replace them with some Cryo treated rotors.

One of the things with the ford setup of brakes is you have to keep them cleaned and lubricated, if they start to seize up at all then the turn sideways almost and stop working properly. The stealerships recommend doing a brake service every 3rd oil change. if you can you should learn how to do it your self and save a few bucks it's really not that hard, just need to anti-seize the slides up and keep things cleaned off for years of trouble free problems.

My left rear brake caliper appears to be frozen/stuck on. The rear brakes were just done last summer ( by Ford ). Is this an easy fix ? Kind of cold in the NE and the X won't fit in my garage.
