    front rotors - vented?

    ok, ok, I take it all back!! They gave me the rear ones. I know, stupid beginner mistake. But for some autoparts one can buy sooo cheap crap, that I thought that was another way to sell cheap shmeap stuff... Anyways, after returning them, the new ones were on in 10 minutes.

    front rotors - vented?

    I just unpacked my new Duralast Autozones rotors. I was shocked, when I saw that they weren't vented!!! Are those supposed to be vented? I mean my old rotors are warped a little bit and that's why I want to exchange them, but not for non-vented ones!!! I mean, aren't you getting major fading...

    Removing Rear Brake Rotors on 2002 XLS 4x4 4.0 Engine

    man, that reminded me of last summer, when it seriously took a whole Sunday to change the rear brakes... the rotors and putting the e-brake back together was the worst, since I haven't done it before. Fun was also when I put in the pads the wrong way. DIdn't know they were handed. SO anybody who...

    What's your gas Mileage?

    I always got 12-15/16mpg. Ever since I had the CEL with P420 (I think) come on, I get 18-19mpg!!! Also it helped that my drive to work now is 15 mls instead of 7mls, but I don't know if that would make that big of a difference!! Last week I broke my personal record and got 20.5mpg I had some...

    caliper slide pins?

    I think one of my brake caliper slide pins in the front is stuck, I was trying to compress it when I was changing the brake pads and it only wanted to move to a certain point. Also my old pads were worn unevenly! Where can I buy those and what are they called? Is the installation difficult...

    brake pads?

    are severe duty brake really necessary? I am looking at the quick stops as an alternative??? Oh and when I order on Rockauto, do I order Qty 2 for both wheels or 1 for one set?

    drivetrain clunk when coasting under 10mph (downshift?)

    with me there is only one clunk at almost the same low speed (just under 10mph) it doesn't always happen, but most of the time. Almost everytime I go around a corner, slow down and get back on the gas in the corner. Can it have anything to do with that my reverse is always feeling like it is...

    drivetrain clunk when coasting under 10mph (downshift?)

    When I am coasting towards a red light or so and it slows down to under 10mpg I get a clunk somewhere in the drivetrain. At first I was thinking U-joints or so, but now I am wondering if it could be the transmission trying to shift down into 1st gear and maybe some clutchpack or so is sticking...

    clunk in powertrain, when stepping from brakes to gas

    I tried to search for this, but couldn't find anything. Very often (becomes more!) when I roll towards a traffic light and brake slightly and then step back on the gas I hear this clunk somewhere in the powertrain (Trans or rear end). I think that also happens in the opposite direction when I...

    what is that for??

    the problem is that there is a hole in the top leaf spring to locate that bracket, so I can't hammer it towards the rear end. So should I just cut it out and replace it with a new one?

    what is that for??

    What is that bracket for? It is loose sitting on the leaf spring and rattles like hell... Can I fix it somehow?

    left turn noise weird though!!! help

    Yeah, that might be an idea, I should check the e-brake, it isn't working since I bought the truck anyway!! I hope I will find the time to look at it and don't have to bring it to a shop! Hub bearing? I dont' know how they work, but I would think it is definitely not a wheel bearing!

    left turn noise weird though!!! help

    It doesn't sqeak when I push dwn the fender. And when it makes that noise I think that it varies with the speed. so it has something to do with turning parts! I am just thinking: brakes - it should make that noise also when going straight and the pads and discs look good bearing - same...
