Frequently Asked Questions About Ford Brakes

How often should I have my Ford's brakes inspected?

It's generally recommended to have your Ford's brakes inspected at least once a year or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you notice any changes in braking performance, such as squealing, grinding, vibrations, or a soft brake pedal, you should have them checked immediately.

What are the signs that my Ford needs new brake pads?

Common signs that your Ford needs new brake pads include a squealing or screeching noise when braking (often caused by wear indicators), a grinding sound (indicating metal-on-metal contact), a longer stopping distance, a vibrating steering wheel or brake pedal, or your brake warning light illuminating on the dashboard.

Why is brake fluid important, and how often should it be changed?

Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that transmits the force from your brake pedal to the calipers, engaging the brake pads. Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture, which lowers its boiling point and can lead to corrosion in your brake lines. Ford generally recommends a brake fluid flush every 30,000 miles or every two to three years, but consult your owner's manual for specific intervals for your model.

Can I get a brake inspection for free at Robert Horne Ford?

Yes, at Robert Horne Ford, we offer complimentary brake inspections. Our certified technicians will thoroughly assess your Ford's entire braking system and provide you with a detailed report of its condition, helping you make informed decisions about your vehicle's safety.

Why should I use genuine Ford brake pads instead of aftermarket parts?

Genuine Ford brake pads are specifically designed, tested, and approved by Ford for your vehicle's model. They ensure optimal fit, performance, and safety, maintaining your Ford's original braking characteristics. Aftermarket pads may not meet these same rigorous standards, potentially leading to reduced braking efficiency, increased wear on other components, or even safety concerns.
