I have 6pots and PBR rears on the bench waiting to be fitted now my 3k inspection has been done.I don't want to fit them if its something that needs a factory fix.CheersCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 2m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/04/09 12:51 AM Share Posted 21/04/09 12:51 AM I spoke to 13FORD about it 2 weeks ago. They were aware of the problem and said that my dealer would need to speak to the Factory hotline for further advice.Mine happens almost anytime I want it to, but I have learnt to drive around the problem, by either braking harder or reapplying the brakes if it starts to shudder.I spoke to the service manager at the dealer and I will take the foreman for a run when my 3k service comes up in a few weeks.

(and also tell them to ring titan ford in wa about ) Edited 21/04/09 01:08 AM by tinyplums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 21/04/09 01:10 AM Share Posted 21/04/09 01:10 AM Untill I get the time and a car to test my theory on im leaning towards 1 of 2 things, the new uprights arn't as strong as the BA/BF ones were and at low speeds on initial bite it twists the upright. At higher speeds it isn't noticable at you have constant pressure on there, at lower speeds you have very little pressure and not always constand pressure on there. 2nd theory is same pricipal but with the caliper bracket itself.

hdj80 Member 76 Member For: 17y 2m 27d Posted 04/05/09 11:16 AM Share Posted 04/05/09 11:16 AM Well we fitted the 6pot/PBR combo today to my FG XR6T ute. Anyone heard any more about this. Seems to range from constant to hard to replicate depending on the person.Not sure how it could be front suspension uprights if it only happens under extremely light brake applications - least torsional force scenario causing problems?? - but I am not an engineer.

Posted 04/05/09 11:59 AM Share Posted 04/05/09 11:59 AM probably not relevant, but ever since I have had my car, if I full lock wheel to the left(sometimes other direct), it seems to shutter... this was before changing rims... suspension etc... still does it to date...sounds awfully nasty, I am always avoiding doing u turns etc, scares the sh*t out of me.
