| Description of the problem | On my 2004 f-150 super crew w/75000 miles i have had to replace front rotor 3 times because rotors are turning blue and wearing down prematurely causing bad braking, because bearings are failing and causing wobble and overheating rotors taking temper out of rotors, i have been to dealers and they say can't find problem and must be excessive braking, (not) this model rotor has built in bearing and cost over 200. 00 each. Now wheel is doing it again and looking at 4th set of rotors because wheel is wobbling( bearing failing again) some thing has to be done because other people are having same problem with front brakes on this model vehicle, did internet search, please let me know. |
