jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 21y 8d Posted 10/06/04 02:42 AM Share Posted 10/06/04 02:42 AM Has anyone experienced their rear brakes rubbing? Initial feedback from Ford service was that the handbrake needed adjustment (which warrenty doesn't cover by the way, unless you cause a scene that is) problem went away for a month or so and then returned. Follow up with ford revealed that a tech report will soon be released acknowledging the prob. however nothiong can be done until then.

Sorry to report that it's another NCO.....No Charge Option.It appears that my dealers recent fix was to back off the handbrake till no more rubbing.Bit of a drawback though........The handbrake no longer works.....Silly really...........!!

useless Member 259 Member For: 21y 15d Gender: Male Posted 11/06/04 11:50 AM Share Posted 11/06/04 11:50 AM Yesterday I replaced the au brakes and discs.They were cactus...My rear drivers brakes made alot of noise.I ripped off the disk only to find the handbrake shoe had not gone into place.This is the cause of much grief.Sounds like they work themselves into a less than favourable position.Try some brake cleaner into the discs and see if temporarily goes away.If it comes back you know whats happening Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11255-rubbing-brakes/#findComment-133214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
