My fullsize 88 with rear ABS started acting funny a few days ago. When I'm driving the front driver side wheel makes a swishing sound, like maybe the caliper is partially applied. When I step on the brakes it makes the swishing sound even louder, and is constant with the wheel turn.
Now the brakes have a ton of pressure, the pedal is extremely hard to push down. When I barely put my foot on the petal the bronco slows down, but seems to "catch" when im nearly stopped, the front driver side of the bronco sucks down because the caliper catches so hard. When I put the bronco in reverse the pedal sometimes goes the floor, no pressure.
Just as I was pulling in the driveway I got tired of it getting stiffer as I hit the brakes, it was like the harder I pushed the harder it pushed back. I stomped the brakes and it made a *CLUNK* noise, the pedal went to the floor. I pumped it once or twice and had brakes again, but something aint right.
Any ideas?

quit ur complaining and install ur D60







maybe u should open up ur brakes and take a look inside. i have a feeling it might be the driver side. oh, i would like my brake line back too.

Sounds like a seized caliper piston. But then again you won't know until you take it apart.

you might also wanna check ur wheel bearings, I had a similar problem on my old f-150 turned out the bearing torque nut was very loose causing the whole hub assembly to move, making the brakes act very funny sometimes, normal others.

thanks guys (except chris)
I took it apart and found that the piston on the caliper had totally exploded, I mean cracked in half and fluid was shot all over the inside.

thanks guys (except chris)

I agree, don't replace, put the 60 in :D
