I replaced front bearing's on both sides (front end), plus I thought I'd replace front pads also, had rotors re-surfaced and then I thought I'd check back brakes, I couldn't believe what I saw, Ford put a little rotor on back and a rinky-dink caliper assembly (cheap)! It is no bigger than what the motorcycle industry would use say on a Harley or Honda touring bike. The rotor wasn't over 3/8" thick. No wonder that when you put on the brakes the car doesn't want to stop. I cannot believe that size and weight of this SUV they would put a motorcycle braking system on it. Back to the top about the bearing, the passenger side bearing was worn out so that's why I put all new ones on front end. Of course, they were made in dear old China (don't know how long they will last). The bearing alone cost me about 400.00 bucks. 12/31/15
