2004 Ford F250 Eating Rear Brakes
Bruce’s question:
My 2004 Ford 250 van keeps eating up rear brake pads. The inner pads on both sides wear out, while the outer pads still have over half their thickness left. I’ve done two brake jobs in the last year, and it keeps wearing the same. I even changed callipers but to no avail. What can I do to fix this?
Answer:
I’ll bet you drive it where there’s a lot of dirt and mud. Ford knows about mud jamming in the callipers, and has redesigned the dust shields that are located behind the callipers. The older shields had too big a gap and dirty mud would get by them and jam up the pads. So take a trip to the Ford dealer and buy a pair of these new shields. That should stop this problem in its tracks.
