Nope... you just have one of the 17 vehicles that still has a good looking seal that is functional. The rest of them look like stretched baby poo and leak like the aformentioned baby...

Geesh... I love that word.... aforementioned. LOL!

I'm somewhere around 15,000 miles and no where near needed new brakes, or brake maintinance, and I have no wrecks or tickets on my record.
Thanks for the virtual driving lesson

I thought that was how you were supposed to slow the vehicle in driving.

In the T-Bird, the front end would go into full shake on braking and warp the rotors.

On my truck, I just notice that it takes a harder press of the pedal and longer distance to stop when coming up on a red light or other "gotta come to full stop" situation.

I am not noticing this in my car at work however, so I am starting to think less that its me and more that its the Motorcraft pads.

1. Friggin' blinker fluid leaks.
2. Muffler bearings are missing.

and Ford brakes should be renamed "breaks".

Stay away from the motorcraft for your muffler bearings! They make good stuff, but it is crap for your muffler bearings and stinks to high heaven-like burned oil or something.
