ORANGEXR6T Member 16 Member For: 13y 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 18/10/12 09:15 AM Share Posted 18/10/12 09:15 AM Hey guysOk first things first, I bought my 04 BA xr6t in feb. I knew the rotors on the front needed replacing.So I decided that I would change all rotors I got some DBA street series slotted rotors and bendix brake pads. Fitting them was fine no problems. Fitted 4 new tyres in June.Only recently I have been getting a on and off violent shakes through to the steering wheel. I thought it was the wheel bearings. So I replaced them all good to. Ran fine for a couple of days without shakes. Then they started again. I need help I'm not sure what else it could be. Had tyres checked, rotors checked pads checked. Could it be bushes or suspension? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82455-need-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't happen while braking. But if I do brake it seems to settle the shakes.

Also front lower control arm bushes should be checked 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82455-need-help/#findComment-1311089 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at the lower control arms. Should I check the tie rods aswell?

I don't mind the price I just get a good brand to last longer.
