Persistant Shake On Highway

[Wenier]

What about cleaning the mating faces for the hub to disk and disk to wheel if necessary to eliminate any run out on the wheel.

Hey thought id add that my old car the BIG blood orange one had the same problems only at a certain speed 110kms,I had so many wheel alignments and went through 2 sets of new tyres disc machining checking how my suspension was and if I had warped rims and spent way too much on sh*t that I shouldn't have done! Eventually I put it into service and for a general oil and filter and told a friend who works there and he figured it out straight away and didn't cost a dam thing, if someone who is mechanically minded knows where there PUSHROD is in the braking that's the answer!!! it sometimes locks on or something around 110kms and its to do with the ABS. I hope this works for you too mate.

I spoke to the bloke at work and I am sure the brake problem has to to with the ABS, he said it was the sensor holding one brake on ,on the front. good luck. J K.....

After the drive to work today the problem is solved! And the front end feels much sharper thanks to the new bushes up front too

Louiseanddanny if the pushrod your talking about is in the brake booster Ford adjusted that for me when changing the calipers. Apparently they have seen it a few times and it seems to hold on the front left and rear right brakes slightly while driving...

With the ABS sensors I'll check them out as a precaution so the shake doesnt come back (just incase...)

I actually enjoyed driving my T today for the first time in a while instead of just searching for solutions to issues

Heres hoping it continues.

Thanks to everyone for there suggestions and help with this! Now if anyone else has this problem I'll be able to help lol

Its a good feeling isn't it!

So happy for you mate, nothing better than having a problem with YOUR car solved.

Enjoy mate.

Got mine sorted today.. It was a worn bush on the right rear arm that was buggered, causing the wheel to wobble whilst driving.. Got that, diff bush and a ball joint replaced and the car is smooth as now and has gotten rid of a lot of the clunks I was getting.
