So I changed the bearings and rotors on my 95 Ranger. I worked everything like I would on my 89 B2 (right down to compressing the calipers to get them back on), but now the brakes ain't working properly. They occasionally feel like gears are grinding under the depressed peddle and pulls to one direction or the other. I can occasionally pump the peddle and they will catch like normal but today it didnt work, and the tires locked up and started chirping with a power sliding hult with out stopping. Any ideas of what might have went wrong?
 
Make sure the rotors are for an ABS vehicle before you go too far.

They are. And I swapped over the tone rings as well. The brakes was working flawlessly before I did this. Is it at all possible for it to have messed up somewhere with me compressing the calipers?
 
I wouldn't think so, are the sensors clean and not covered with rust,dirt,etc?

Yes, although the front driver is a little worn from where someone didn't set the tone ring all the way in.
