    My brake issues

    it's funny you say that. The pads (motorcraft) were around 65 bux, a rebuilt caliper is 45

    My brake issues

    ok, so I bought a new slide pin kit, changed that out, lubed up the contact areas of the brake pads. I took it out and drove some. It didn't lug going up the hills like it had. I pull into the garage and jack up that side, and try to spin it. It's still hard to spin, but about as hard to spin...

    My brake issues

    I did notice the pins were a little rough looking and had some worn spots on them. I may just pick up new pins and see if that helps first. A lot cheaper then a caliper I didn't notice the boots around the piston being torn. I looked closely but could have missed something

    My brake issues

    greasing the slide pins didn't help. The front right stopped the spinning wheel then didn't let go :mad: will check Oreilly tomorrow and pick up some rotors. I don't see how that will help, but it sure won't hurt. Will probably pick up a new caliper too :mad: :mad: I keep telling myself...

    My brake issues

    I plan on replacing the rotors at the same time. now, what are these shims? Are they the brass colored pieces that clip in each end of the caliper bracket?

    My brake issues

    pistons pushed fine, I didn't notice either pad wearing more I picked up some grey snot, will try that one night when I have more time. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. The top bolt came out easy, I didn't even have to hold the pin. Granted, it did turn, but I could never...

    My brake issues

    well, I bought the motorcraft pads, do they have shims? what do they look like? I know what shims look like for carpentry :D

    My brake issues

    the rotors weren't turned. I would order new ones before turning. I don't recall any shims. What do they look like? I just bought pads that had the 4 gold color clips that go on the ends. I don't think that's the problem as the left side works fine, it's only the right side and I didn't do...

    My brake issues

    I do plan on cleaning/lubing the pins. I checked them both, they still had grease on them and slid fine I'll do that anyways, as I figure it won't hurt ;) isn't it odd that it didn't happen until I changed the pads? Could it have been this way with the worn pads (74k miles) and I never...

    My brake issues

    had the front ball joints replaced a few weeks ago. Dealer said I needed new front brake pads and it would be $250. I said no thanks, I'll do it myself. So, I search, read all the threads here. Read the bullitt archive info. Take off old pads (front only), rotors were fine. Never had any...

    What can you tell me about Atlanta GA

    I don't find the traffic bad at all. I guess if you live on the north side, you will. Whenever I go up 75 towards Acworth, it's always bad. Makes me glad I live where I do :D

    What can you tell me about Atlanta GA

    it's not hot here. Granted, there have been numerous days of 100* weather, it's still nothing compared the humid gulf coast This is my second summer and I'm still wondering how it got the nickname of "HOTlanta" :shrug:

    Changing brake pads: Do you turn the rotors?

    I'm getting ready to change the front pads this week. 72k miles on the stockers :eek3: I have no warpage (don't feel anything) so I'm thinking I'll just change the pads, no turning. This should be fine right? The car isn't pushed hard. It's the wife's car and we just drive it to work and on...

    Guide to replacing your 2001 Mach 460 head unit

    I originally used the hp and lp features on my D3, but ended up buying bass blockers anyways. They made a nice difference. Now I just need a basslink to throw in the trunk

    Detailing

    I just said sponge for simplicity. I actually use something with microfiber "fingers" on it.... oh and dish washing detergent. Gets a squeaky shine every time :D I may try the dual bucket method after I break in the PC on my Yukon. Really no point in it now
