Is this correct, if so I will go get them turned....I have front disc brakes with rear drums on a 98 SE with 65k and a v6 duratech, i had new rotors put on in june. -Jason, thanks alot!

I bet its the rotors, and your rotors should be still under warranty if they are from Ford. 95 SE MTX DH UIM, 65mm TB, SC CAI, Quaife, Centerforce, Fidanza, UR Pulley, F/R Strut Braces, Cross Drilled Rotors, S.S.
