ive been to a few ford service centres over the years and most of the time I ended up leaving pissed off but I have to agree that for the two or so years that I used city ford on crown street in the city I was more than happy with the service , each visit and I also found the staff good to deal with dimitri and robert I used to deal with if I still lived in the city I still be using them trev

ok im guessing its the same one I have then does anyone have one with the zf in it

well over the last few months ive hard shutter in the rear end of the car and having the rotors machined last weekend seems to have fixed the problems ? well at least I thought it did but last night its feels like its coming back same side as befor and ive noticed this ive taken some pics and posted them below has ayone else seen this happen to the rotors its feels almost like the pads drag under really light braking and the same thing happened last time then after a few weeks it started to shudder when the rotors heated up

falcon _6 BF FALCONS HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER STICKING WHEN WARM/HOT thanks mate but would that cause just one or two wheels to shudder or would it make all the brakes lock on I pulled the abs fuse today and drove around and besides the computer losing its f*cking mind the problem is still their at least I know its not the abs sensors or abs module since nothing changed shudder wise thanks ive checked my wheel bearing for runout and they seemed fine also they looked clean no metal fileings or anything but im thinking of just buying some new ones and swapping them out just to see wheel hubs for bf falcons are cheap as sh*t these days if you buy after market

I take it you bought them from tempe tyres ? for that price

ok any help would be great with this one its really got me f*cked my bf xr6t has really bad brake shudder once the brakes are warmed up at all speeds and if feels like its only on the left side of the car and so far I just cant seem to fix it its got dba 4000 series rotors front and rear blistein shocks , kings springs heavy duty , whiteline sway bars 27mm front 22rear ive tried replacing the lower control arm bushes front and rear all ball joints top and bottom ive had the rotors machined and replaced the pads and bleed all the brake lines and also gone over the whole car and checked all bolts heaps needed doing up but if hasnt fixed the problem ps does anyone now what resistance our abs sensors should be befor I bother taking the wheels off again and also what voltage should be coming out of system must are between 5 and 12 volts I think ? somebody give me some ideas or at least a good brake centre in either the wollongong or rockdale area of sydney cheers trev

so if money wasnt a problem and im after a tyre in 18inch 245 what should I be going for ? im thinking (1) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...es&place=20 (2) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...yes&place=0 (3) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...yes&place=6 also to be legal the tyre has to be 93y and above is that correct or is w for speed rating fine ? cheers trev

out of interest how much did the abs sensors cost you cheers trev

bf and all the brake rotors are dba 4000 slotted I changed them over about 40000km ago

when this was happening did it do it under brakes or just all the time ive fixed my front end vibrations but my car seems to still have them on the left rear side im thinking maybe my rear rotors need a machine what else could it be has anybody else had problems with rear vibrations under brakes above 110kpm thanks guys trev

hello all an update so far today I went ahead and had my front and rear lower control arms bushes changed for nolathane and so far so good besides the place that fit them not doing the bolts back up and as a result my wheel alignment is now rooted im yet to inform them of this stuff up as I noticed after they had closed so I just doall ne the bolts up myself but I must say its made the car handle heaps better under brakes and also though the twisties and really tops off the front 27mm and rear 22 mm sway bars I fitted myself last weekend to anybody thinking about trying to make their tug boat handle a bit better ive found what I have installed so far seems to work very well together (1) bilstein shocks $1050 from these guys http://www.heasmans.com.au/ (2)kings uprated springs $300 delivered front kffl-57/520 , rear kfrl68ssl/310 from these guys http://www.onautos.com.au/ (3) sway bars 27mm front ,22mm rear $390 from signature sway bars (02) 9525 5619‎ cheers trev

thanks mate funny you ask because ive had the whole diff replaced a few months ago but the car had the brake shudder thing going on befor that although I have noticed a little bit more noise from the rear end since then cheers trev

just a question who put the ford factory bump stops back on the front shocks when fitting bilstein shocks and they cut them down to suit cheers trev

thanks ill give that a crack on tuesday trev

well anyway over the last few months my car has been getting some really bad vibration issues under brakes above 100kpm it always does it to point were the front passenger seat vibrates as well but also everynow and then the car gets some smaller vibrations when just driving 60kpm , 70 kph ,90kpm but these are only fealt though the streeing wheel the car has the following things fitted (1) new shocks bilstein (2) new kings springs (3) 27mm front 22mm rear sway bars and today I had the rotors machined thiniking that may fix it but its still the same on tuesday im getting the lower and upper ball joints and both the front and rear lower control arm bushes changed in the hope that may fix it is their anything else I should be looking at to fix it the bushes look ok to me but im starting to run out of ideas all that's left after this is the upper control arm bushes which also look ok to me I checked them out today but I guess they may stuffed on the inside where I cant see ? maybe and my cheap ass maxis tyres which im gonna get changed at the end of next week although they appear fine maybe thay need a another balance or something ANY SUGGESTIONS GUYS ITS REALLY MAKING ME MAD AND IM OUT OF IDEAS :banghead2: CHEERS TREV

I never asked but 30c isn't that hot anyway you could warm oil to that temp with a fish tank heater in few hours

your gearbox is low on oil and as the oil heats up it expands .... ive been told to make sure the oil is at 30 c when refilling for this reason by someone who does the services on a lot of zf gear cheers trev

about f*cking time ive been waiting nearly 3 years for the day to come now I reckon we will see heaps of zf boxes blow up while tuners get the hang of playing around
