1986 Ford F150 with 120,000 miles.

Brakes were fine unitl front coil spring broke. Brake light on dash came on and truck was hard to stop. I thought it was because the spring coil was broken.

I replaced front coil spring and brake pads and shocks while I was at it. The pick-up does not stop as before. The brake light stays on and the front wheels will slide when I apply brakes. The brakes just don't work well.

What's wrong?

Check to see if the brake lines were pinched or otherwise damaged as a result of the damage or subsequent repair... and bleed the brakes as well.
