MY mom complained via email that when she would hit a turn that had a drop bottom to it she would hear a drinding sound from the front brakes, i heard this too when i was coming down some mountain roads when i was on leave in october is this the esp or are the brake line being stretched due to my 3" lift causeing the brakes to engage at droop? also waht is the best brakes to upgrade to |

A scraping sound while turning and hitting a bump - indicates that something in the suspension is scrapping - could easily be a byproduct of the lift, but in compression not droop. It doesn't indicate a brake problem by itself - but the suspension is compressed more because of the weight shift from braking. So it would be great to have someone put a jack under a lower a arm (I use a 2x4 block for cushioning) and look for contact points, - hard to do 1/2 around the world. On upgrades - tjkj had recommended Powerslot rotors and Napa ceramic pads- that's what I intent to do when my stockers wear out. |
