1989 Bronco Breaks

I have a 1989 Eddie Bauer Bronco, 5.0L V8, I've been having trouble with my brakes, I push lightly on the brakes and it stops so fast, someone told me it had something to do with a VACUME and a tune up would fix it.

I apreciate any help,
Thanks Joey Victorino

Joey, if it is running ok, then just check your rear brake shoes & fr. pads/rotors for glazing, gunkiness. 2 cans of brake cleaner may help. This is the cheapest & ez'iest check I have for you.

Also, mine grabs tight early in the morning until it burns off the dew.

If your rear axle seals are bad, you may be leaking 80/90 weight gear lube onto your brakes. I had this happen in my 85 Bronco. My Brakes would lock up I changed the seals and the shoes, never had a problem after that.

Good Luck
