Hey guys, this may seem like a pointless problem but it has really started to bother me. when i pull up my e-brake to park my car its not very strong. It will hold the car on very small inclines but i always need to put it in gear to reasure myself that it isnt gonna roll away. is there anyway to tighten my e-brake or something.
Thanks
John

YOur ebrake is just worn.Have you drove with it up? I had a 87 ranger I did that with alot and the ebrake didnt hold anymore

This may be a little late in the ball game, but I saw that nobody has replied to you so who knows, maybe I can help. The Ebrake is a common problem. Common enough that Ford recalled them. Take your Mustang to the dealership and have the ebrake fixed at no cost to you. Good luck!

When did they recall it? Mine's doing the same thing and I need mine done too...

It was done a couple of years back, but the recall is still in effect. Dealership repair/replace at no charge.

All that needs to be done guys is to adjust your rear caliper. You remove the caliper and pads, and using a 2 pronged tool from the parts store (you need it anyway to replace rear pads) screw the caliper piston out until there is a .030 clearance between pad and caliper (do not go less our you will drag the pad), then re-adjust your lever for desired pull. Done, this setting is the most screwed up thing I find on Mustang/T-birds/ Lincolns with this type of setup.
