When To Get Your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Brakes Checked

It’s best to get a brake check before your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shows signs of brake troubles. We offer free brake inspections as a benefit to all of our customers so that we can help prevent problems from starting in the first place. You can request a free brake check as a standalone service or in addition to work you're already having done on your Ford, like an oil change. However, if routine car care has slipped your mind for quite some time, you might want to pay attention and watch for the following brake issues.

Brake problems include unusual noises, pulsation or vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, a burning smell near your tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a gut feeling that something’s not right. You know your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon like the back of your hand. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Generally speaking, automakers like Ford suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are disassembled and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months. That includes inspecting the parking brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. When in doubt, visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our ASE Certified technicians will gladly inspect your  1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brakes. Preventative brake care can help keep you safe on the road.

Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Brake Pad Replacement

How often do 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brake pads need to be replaced? It largely depends on where and how you drive. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagons that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Ford’s standards.

Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Brake Repair

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Ford  E-150 Econoline Club Wagon. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Get your 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We offer a variety of brake services like pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum refinishing, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation.

Questions About Your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Brakes

  • Why is my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shaking as I brake? Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What is the total number of brake pads on my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.
  • What is the average lifespan of E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Because your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon brake system is a closed hydraulic system, it should not leak brake fluid. However, if components in your brake system have worn out or been damaged, it might cause brake fluid to leak.
