My 2006 ford 150 super crew front brakes seem to be flaking off? When I look at my front tire wheel covers I find residue on the wheel covers, I do not ride my brakes in traffic, what is the problem, just started a few weeks ago. I have 70000 kms and had brakes checked and was told the brakes have about 50% left, more highway miles as I have second car for city driving. Garry

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

There is help in the link. It probably needs removing and taking to an audio tech.

About the only thing left is to replace the caliper. I've seen a few times, but not common. Piston gets bound on corrosion in caliper and doesn't retract completely.

makes no sense other than maybe the anti lock system is messing up

when does it vibrate, my gosh. vibration when at 65-75mph is balancing, vibration in steering wheel is front brakes. pulsation in brakes is rear. vibration all the time on or off brakes, bad tire............need more info.

the wheel shaking sounds like a wheel balancing problem and the no steering response is either some loose ball joints or a bad gear it will need to go to the shop for both

If you have front disk brakes you have to remove the brake caliper to get the rotor off.

the grinding nose you heard was something rubbing on the rotor, bad brakes, caliper, after market wheels, etc. the pressure of a turn bends something enough to touch, this is produceing metal flake that attached to the magnetic sensor on the abs sending a light on because it couldn't read the tire position as it turned, it may have got blown off, washed off, but when it can read the tire again the light will go off, i would look into the grinding noise on cornering thats the cause of the problem. hope this helps

Raise And Support Truck, Remove Wheel, Remove 2 Bolts Holding Brake Caliper On , Use Large "C" Clamp to Push Piston IN to Open up Space for New Pads Install Pads Reverse of How They came Out, Place Caliper Onto Rotor / Ancor and Install 2 Bolts.--------Do This ONE AT A TIME and After Completion Start Engine and Softly PUMP Brake Pedal Untill It Returns to Normal Hight. Hope this hellps you .

The Dust Cover for the Bearings May have Come Loose. Remove the Wheel and the Center Cap and see if it is not Please Rate my Response, I need all the Help That I can Get! Thanks!in there.
