[QUOTE="Steve McKellop, post: 946084, member: 67487"] Top line Bendix or Wagner pads/shoes are as good as any, don't judge quality by overpriced parts. The Ford dealer here doesn't even stock Ford brake pads. They had to order them when they warrantied them on my 08 E250....twice! The BCA or Timken hub/bearings, in whatever box, are as good as it gets. If your rear brakes seem to drag, especially after you've replaced all you have, remove/examine the flex line from the steel one on the frame to the rear end housing tee. The inner lining of the hoses can deteriorate and block fluid from returning, thus holding some pressure on the wheel cylinders. Heat marks/excessive wear would have been an indicator of that on your old rear shoes and drums. I'm sure glad I don't have to deal with the rust problems like you guys do up north!! UNPLUG that cruise switch until you get the recall done. Sport Tracs don't seem to burn as often as F150/Expeditions do but I wouldn't risk it. You can't go to a salvage sale without seeing at least a couple F150/Exp's with a cooked cowl. [/QUOTE]
