Car SURGES when brakes are applied, help and advice needed!
hey, I own a 1991 Ford Thunderbird, v.6 3.8l and everytime 1-5 times I brake the car surges forward.
Now I replaced the Front Rotors, Calipers, and Pads and bleeded the front brakes. The brakes in the front we're all rusted and corroded. The Rotor's had so much build-up on them. After I had done all that work... The car ran alot better and 75% of the problem was gone... But it is still noticeable... MY real question is, The problem i have I'm paranoid that my brakes might be BINDING or not releasing all the way from the rear... If so (which im pretty sure) How do I go about fixing this? If I replace my rear brakes will this problem go away? If I do replace the brakes will the problem ruin the new brakes? Thanks to anyone that can even help me out a little. Im just starting here, and I'd greatly appreciate any Advice or Critique for that matter! Thanks again, Donald

Re: Car SURGES when brakes are applied, help and advice needed!
It sounds like the car sat for quite a while. With so many miles on the car it would be a good idea to pull the drums off of the back to check to brakes anyway. I would highly recommend you replace the wheel cylinders when you do the brake job on the rear.Replace them during the brake job or end up replacing them later along with the shoes AGAIN because the leaking brake fluid from the old cylinders will saturate the shoes rendering them useless

Turning the drums means putting them on a lathe and cutting them until they are smooth with no grooves or high and low spots in them so that the brake shoes will make contact across the entire drum. The machine shop will be able to measure the drums and tell you if the drums are thick enough to cut or if you have to replace them.
