srxr6t Member 14 Member For: 16y 8m 3d Location: Fremantle - WA Posted 05/05/08 01:33 PM Share Posted 05/05/08 01:33 PM Firstly, apologies if this has been raised in previous posts...I have reviewed and searched and have'nt found anthing similar.My stock BFMk2 XR6t ute (2007) produces a 'shush..shush...shush' sound immediately after slowing down from reaching decent speed through rapid acceleration...it only makes this sound in these circumstances.Normal driving etc, no obvious sound is detected.Is this the park brake issue or something more sinister?Any thoughts / direction would be appreciated.Cheers.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then I would say its the park brake, and with the high temps after braking the drum is expanding and just bringing the shoes into contact with it - that's my guess anyway!

Is your handbrake effective? Maybe at the cost of a little noise I would avoid letting them play around with my handbrake - especially if it was adjusted correctly!

Failing that, maybe get Simon and the boys at Xtreme Ford Tuning to look into it, whether you take it to Ford is up to you, not alot of people have any faith in their servoce dept anymore though...
