In 2012, the recommended brake fluid for a Ford F-150 is Dot 3. The estimated cost for replacing the brake shoes on a Ford F-150 falls between $243 and $280. Labor expenses range from $143 to $178, while the parts will run between $110 and $112. Maintaining proper brake function is crucial. Malfunctioning brakes can lead to serious issues such as brake lock-ups causing accidents, loose bearings affecting stopping power, screeching noises due to low brake fluid levels, and brake pads that do not work effectively being unable to stop the vehicle. Identifying and addressing premature brake wear is essential for ensuring safety while driving.
