[bottomlinesf]

when the roads are wet and go to hit the brakes the right rear will lock up.
what goin with it?

maybe air in the line??? my 88 used to do that

I have noticed similar with my 2002 edge. I believe that do to the ABS sensor being in the diff we are not getting 100% response from the ABS as it only happens for a second on mine.

if your both having that problem and there 2002's then you most likely dont have a limited slip or trac loc rear end.. meaning its sending a signal to the abs saying im working fine. when really the right rear is getting to much fluid and braking harder, thats what mine does regardless of having my abs hooked up for not.

my 95 started doing it one i put in the newer explorer rear which is an open diff(no limited slip or trac loc)

when it is damp outside, rangers are typical for having that sort of thing happening, mine does it occasionally

There is a TSB for this condition for 2002 - 2009 rangers.

TSB 09-13-12

Go into your dealer and check it out.

whenever I have a problem with ONE rear wheel locking up my knee jerk reaction is to disassemble and inspect the opposite side.

Not looking at why ONE is locking, but why the other is NOT

Typically I find a frozen wheel cylinder.
