I have a MII BA XR6T with premium brakes. Even though, allingment is done and checked many times, it pulls left or right strongly when stopping. It seems to do the same thing without brakes being applied if there is any irregiularity on the road surface.

Tyres and brake pads are in good condition. As usual, the dealer service department denies anything being wrong. One suspension shop (Pedders) says it is a common problem with % 80 of all Fords. A special chamber/toe kit which costs around $ 500 needs to be fitted to the front end and then alligned to fix the problem. Does anyone know or heard anything about this ?

This will go to the wheels and handling section shortly where you'll be bombarded with info.

I have heard of something similar with older Commodores requiring the camber kit but not Falcons.

Yea I had the same problem mate awhile ago I went threw 4 different rims

4 different tyres and had allignment done a billions of times and still had the problem but all the problem was that the place didnt do a proper wheel alligment

then I took it to bob jane and they did another wheel allignment but the wheels dont come off and they have some special machine and does the aligment on the spot and it work great.

hope this helps abit

Mine has this problem too - off memory it didn't seem too bad after an alignment, but seems to get worse with time. Would be interested to hear if there is a less expensive way to fix it...

A

mine does it a bit.. when it slows almost to a stop it pulls the wheels right from memory

Mate, yes the trie shave rotated. The problem is always there even after numerious wheel allignments. Somebody recommended this Pedders shop, so I gave them a call. As soon as I described the problem. They said it is a common problem with 80 % of Fords and a camber/toe kit needs to be installed to fix it properly.
