Ford Repair: 1998 ford contour front brakes, brake pads and rotors, ford contour


Question
after replacing the front brake pads and rotors, my car's brake pedal has no play at all and it seems that the brakes are always slightly engaged causing engine drag.  is there an m/c adjustment screw that i can adjust?  what is the remedy?

Answer
Hi Bruce,
Lift the front of the car and see if you can turn the tires easily. (trans in neutral). If not, you may have the wrong pads and/or rotors. There is no master cylinder adjustment of front brake adjustment. If unsure, take it to your favorite mechanic or FORD dealer.
