stretchy Member 7 Member For: 20y 4m 9d Posted 24/11/06 02:24 AM Share Posted 24/11/06 02:24 AM Hey Guys,Yesterday I took the XR in to have the brakes checked out due to noticeable brake shudder. Expecting the usual skim and shim job, called the dealer @ 3:30pm to check the car was ready for pickup only to be advised that the car is still in bits and I need to wait until tomorrow for 4 new rotors to arrive! Apparently all 4 rotors have developed "hot spots". Has this happened to anybody else?RegardsStretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iconic Bionic My engine bay is Bionic Donating Members 3,726 Member For: 18y 7m 16d Gender: Male Location: Freeways Posted 24/11/06 05:22 AM Share Posted 24/11/06 05:22 AM (edited) Yeah I had shudder as well and all they did was machine them. After the 3rd time Ford apparently replaces them. I did get the "Brake shudder on the BF's is unheard of" line. My rotors and pads got a beating on one of the Nasho runs we have up here sometimes but they should still be able to handle such spirited driving from time to time.

I sort of just figured that's what relatively big brakes are designed to do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need that little extra. These cars should already come with this as standard. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
