    I've noticed recently that I have no brakes after going around hard corners. Under normal driving conditions the brakes work perfect and have never caused concern, but if I'm really racing it around a sharp corner the pedal takes a full pump to come back. I'm running disk brakes in the front...

    Hey everyone, hope y’all can help me out with this predicament. I searched through the forums but didn’t find much that helped my troubleshooting. My family and I are in the process of restoring a 65 Galaxie 500 convertible with a 352 FE V8. Recently, we went through the hole brake system and...

    I need the parking brake linkage (equalizer, adjustment rod, return spring, etc.) for my project but I can't find any replacements online or in a catalog. Do mustang parts work on galaxies? If not, let me know where I need to look. Or, if you have parts that would work for sale, please message...

    Good afternoon, y’all, i recently bought a 1967 Galaxie 500 that had been sitting in North Carolina soil for 5+ years. I got all but the passenger rear drum to move properly, but that last wheel refuses to move. I’ve used the spoon tool to hit the star wheel to the point that the bottom of the...

    Looking for some pointers here. I lost my brake light today. Replace brake light switch on master cylinder thinking it had to be because it was so old. I have no running lights and no brake light. Blinker work fine in the rear though. headlights work, high beams work. I did get a few sparks off...

    Hello All, I just got my new strange ford 9" rear end with 31 spline axles. I put timken A20 bearings on both axles. I then mounted axles in the rear end to measure for some wilwood brakes. My options for brake kits had an axle offset of 2.32" 2.50". I measure my axle offset and they were...

    New on here and hope someone can help. Recently purchased a 1961 Galaxie coupe. It has power brakes and I removed the vacuum canister which is tied into the brake booster, and found that the canister was about half full of what looks like brake fluid. Would that indicate a bad master cylinder...

    I have a 64 Falcon Futrua 4Dr and the brake lights will not come on. The headlights work just fine but they are about the only electric thing that currently works. I've checked all the bulbs and wires they seem to be in good condition. Not sure what else to check.

    Hello, I have a 66 Galaxie with power Drum brakes. I have been told my Booster is bad. The pedal is extremely hard to push. The brake system is 100% new including the check valve and grommet, except the booster. I have the Midland Clamp type. I am having a hard time finding a replacement...

    Here is the page I found. I think these with my new K/H calipers and ceramic pads will work very nice. Any input from my fellow Ford lovers? Premium Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors

    Rebuilding the rear drum brakes but I hit a snag maybe someone could help me with. I'm trying to connect the brake lever to the shoe. It is held by a horseshoe clip and apparently a spring washer. When I disassembled the brake there was no spring washer but one came with the hardware kit and...

    Out of nowhere my brake went from easy to push and works like a champ to stiff as a board and hard as hell to stop the car at all. i have to press really hard to get any brake response. I was thinking maybe a blockage somehow??? any help is better than no help.

    Got a 67 fairlane 289, manual drum brakes...I inherited it and have just started fixing it up (been sitting for 3+ years undriven). Details on what we've done: cleaned and rebuilt master cylinder, cleaned old gunked up fluid out of lines, cleaned or replaced necessary parts on all four drums...

    Me again. I have no brake pedal travel. There is honestly probably 1/2 of an inch of travel before the brakes throw you toward the windshield. Brakes definately work but the pedal is almost to the floor. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris

    Hey guys, I'm kind of new to this so any help would be very appreciated. I haven't had any problem with my brakes until earlier tonight, and the guy I bought the car from said he replaced all the brakes on the car before I got it from him. I did run out of gas about an hour beforehand, not sure...
