The Ford Ranger comes with front disc brakes as standard equipment. Like most other automobile components, the brake rotors can wear down over time. The rotors can also warp from excess heat. Excessively worn brake pads can cause the braking hardware to carve grooves into the brake rotor surfac...

First off, lemmie just say that the front wheel bearings on our cars seem to last forever. Even with my near 250,000 miles, I think after replacing mine they were probably fine. But actually, they’re so easy to replace, if you have the money, you might as well go and do it just...
All rotors have a minimum thickness stamped into the front of the rotor hub. Every time the brakes are checked or replaced, the thickness of the rotors should be checked with a caliper. The reason for this is twofold: the rotors get extremely hot during use, and the thinner they are, th...

A spinning object resists changes to its axis of rotation, because an applied force moves along with the object itself. If you push on a point at the top of a spinning wheel, for example, that point moves around to the front of the wheel while it is still feeling the force you ...
