Fixed calipers...

Apparently there is play in the semi floating axle set-up that cause the brake disc to move on the bearing thus causing the pads to go back into the calipers.......hence why my brakes screw up...

The fix is floating rear brakes like standard 4x4 ones or having fully floating hubs at about 500 quid each side.....

Anyone know about this ?

 

ding cant u make the discs floating??????? just a thought

 

just chuck ya car in the nearest river dingster then it'll all be floating!!!

 

 

The disc don't matter i don't think its the caliper...

 

mike r said that with 355 discs u need them floating to stop pad nock off ie the problem u r having now!

 

I guess that depends on caliper and how its mounted tho....

 

Yep - Heard of the problem quite a few times before.

AP calipers or fully floating shafts usually solve it.

Maybe give the guys at http://www.prepfab.co.uk a quick call for some advice ??

its got ap calipers on it....and its semi floating

I am fucked off with the shit heap....

 

I have had to put 2 10lb check valves in my rear brake lines to stop that ,
Nothing more scary than no pedal comming up to a fast corner

 

there is a small valve that you can get that sorts that problem

 

I have a residual (sp) pressure valve in the front...will putting one in the back line solve this then ?

As it sounded more involved ...

 

Dead easy Ding just put mine in the lines either side of the diff

 

Daz, will give you a bell tomorrow night and have a chat with ya about it

 

I could have sent some piccys but lost them all in my old hard drive when it went a bollok

 

Ps Got my check valves from Rally design
And the adapters to go straight into the aero hose as im running this all the way through
I suppose you are to .

 

yeah its the wilwood one on my front...

so u reckon i need 2 one per caliper ? or one for both calipers ?

 

AP do knock back springs that go behind the pistons as well!!

 

Thats what i have Dingy but if you can get the springs for the Ap,s
That would be better
I am not running AP,s on the rear
Good luck

 

Ordered the springs today
