P.S. Does anyone know why my brake aren't stopping like they should? I have fluid, my pads and shoes are good, my rotors are good, and it still doesn't want to stop they way that it should. Any ideas? I dont really know that much about Fords.</font>

gsxman 10-25-2002, 04:45 PM <font color='#000000'>Hey I just broke the second drivers side motor mount on the Tempo the other day. I could use some help replacing them, because I don't really have anything to jack the motor up with, and I'm not sure if I can do it by myself. My dad just got out of the hospital, so he can't help me. P.S. Does anyone know why my brake aren't stopping like they should?

Bring it by the shop tomorrow if its not raining and we'll take a look at that mount and stuff. BTW, tempos arent race cars...of course corolla station wagons arent either....hmmm</font> rxtasy 10-26-2002, 05:25 AM <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Quote (gsxman @ Oct. 25 2002,14:45)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><font color='#000000'>P.S.

At least thats what goes wrong with my Fox bodies. My 99 has the hydraulic steering booster.</font> gsxman 10-27-2002, 03:22 PM <font color='#000000'>The brake stays the same but just doesn't stop as good as it should. Chris, Today is the first time I've been online since Friday. Maybe we can look at it tommorow after class.</font> Cosby 10-27-2002, 05:32 PM <font color='#000F22'>I work every day</font> Texas89LX 10-28-2002, 06:04 PM <font color='#000000'>sounds like you need better pads ill wager youve got the el-cheapo parts store specials <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'></font> gsxman 10-29-2002, 01:40 PM <font color='#000000'>Yeah, they are the parts store cheapies. I'm not gona waste money for performance parts on that car. But the brakes have always worked well up until now. I'm think rxtasy may be right. I'm gonna bleed them and see if that works.</font> Cosby 10-30-2002, 12:22 AM <font color='#000F22'>pedal goes soft if they need to be bled. if its really bad its probably your booster like cody said or really crappy pads.</font> Ramkatral 10-30-2002, 07:24 AM <font color='#000000'>This topic never even touched on the part of the engine mount. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'></font> Stegall 10-30-2002, 09:18 AM <font color='#000080'>just drive it with the broken mount. who cares. if your not reall worried about the car just drive it like that. Chros drive the MX6 with broken mounts fro a while and it was a high HP car that wasnt exactly babied</font> gsxman 10-30-2002, 04:06 PM <font color='#000000'>Good point, I'm just worried about tearing somrthing else up when it shifts in the bay. I guess it doesn't reallymatter though. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'></font> |
