Ford WindstarIntroduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.
Thanks in advance for the help you provide. Although I was raised in a self-employed auto mechanic/machinist home, I am now an HVAC contractor.
I began using other mechanics to perform all repairs up until about a year ago. I have a neighbor with a large shop, so I thought: "I can at least do my own brakes." Now that I've put 3 full sets on the front within the past 12 months I am wondering if it is me, or is there a problem with the equipment? I do not know the name of the part that the calipers bolt into and the pads fit into: I call it a saddle. I finally paid closer attention to it (saddle) and found that it has moving parts. One of the pins in the "saddle" was a bit rusty and when using a file to clean up the places where the pads actually rest, I found uneven wear. Should I replace what I call the saddles? Thanks again.
