The brakes often get hot, and yes it pulls more after some hard braking. I dont think it is rusty pins, this car is garaged all the time and it is very dry out here. No rust anywhere. Could be something on the material of the pad I guess. It is peculiar.

I have a 1992 Ford explorer, and sometimes it pulls left in varying degrees of intensity when braking. It is non abs upfront, but does have abs in the back. It just happens sometimes, when i get more into the brakes it is usually more pronounced, but 80% of the time it is normal balance, then 20% this pull occurs. Very strange. It could also be the rear drums needing adjustment, but even after revering and stopping several times the problem was still there. We bled the brakes. Checked pads in front and they are about equal. Could it be suspension geometry issues (the car drives straight)? I think it is most likely a stuck piston of sorts though. The left front wheel locks up way before the right front when this happens. Thanks guys.

Foxbodys are about 2600 aren't they? And that is great to hear man!

I think you can get more over ebay honestly. Especially since it is a california car...

I would suggest asking your parents nicely if they would fund your education in a different state, and list some reasons why you aren't doing well at CSU. If that doesn't work then your plan sounds okay.

Ok, atleast I am not the only one who thought this was a bad idea heh. But hey it is your car, but personally I would opt for the quick steering knuckles. Can canone coment on their required effort over stock?

I believe it has to be bored over to get rid of the main that the bearing spun on, then it has to be aligned, then an oversized bearing used.

Finish the same degree at a different school away from home.

That is a possibility. But I dont see it as my responsibility to make sure the part fits if that is what every ford dealer specifies then I believe that it is indeed the correct bolt. Having no prior experience with this part of the engine, I simply assumed it was normal. We will see what happens, for now I am researching helicoils.

Dont know about the value, but try Folex carpet cleaner. Spray it, let it soak for about 2 minutes then scrub brush it, it will foam up and be clean. If not, repeat. Worked for me anyways

Hehe everyone at the movie liked it. About 25% of the people fully understood it, 50% pretty much got it, and the last 25% liked the music. He is submitting it to sun dance and some other things, we shall see.

After you, just do it to your car and if I like it ill do it to mine.... The worse pimp my ride was the escort painted to look like it had sheetmetal and rivits falling off of it :S

Ok, thanks guys. So where can I find a two mile strech of road that I know for sure is two miles?

Eventually Hybridz could do an annual magazine, that would be cool.

Ya I was thinking that at first, but then I realized that was too not my taste at all. The yellowish green can be made bold but it will also look good in five years I think. The blue I would kick myself in 5-10 years.

Oh my god... 355mm rotors... thats 14"!

Well from my short experience with the Z wheels, the wheels were not hubcentric, but it did not matter. I also had one of two wandering studs, but when I tightened them down to about 70ft-lb everything went straight. Were you using concical nuts? I dont think soft taps would get the job done when 100 ft-lbs wouldnt, but then again I don't know your full situation.

That is soooo clean I would maybe reduce the distance between holes though, don't know.

Ya the firestones were fine IMHO they have been driven a good 20 mph over their speed rating when I was yonger and they went well. Whatever we got 3 sets of free tires on the Explorer, never ever had to pay for tires. Plus, these last ones have lasted forever it is kinda crazy I don't know why, they must be rated at like 1000 Treadwear or something (exaggerating, i think). Just wondering how the whole court thing works. Why couldn't ford just say well they were running 25 psi in their tires not 32 as recommended hence why they failed not our fault. "It seems that if this guy can say okay well I fell asleep but thats not my fault the car should know I fell asleep and not roll over when I jerk the wheel at freeway speed to correct", then ford should be able to pick out a less minor thing as well.

Thanks for the series 1 help. I didn't ever notice that. I dislike those hatch vents but I like the lack of the pillar embrem and was thinking of covering it, didn't know it acctually vented air. Why does it vent such a small amount of air? Is it to keep the cabin somewhat fresh? Also does anyone know number 1 I am really intrested.

This may be a dumb question on my part, but, why?

I think the bushings would do your Z a world of good. With the setup you have I am surprised it hasn't sold for 5k have you tryed ebay? Also, does it have LSD?
