new drum brakes pulsating
Can anyone help? I put new drums and pads on the back of my 2000 Taruas (after only 24k miles!!) and now my brake pedal is pulsating like crazy. I tried moving the car in reverse and hitting the brakes a few times right after putting the drums on and heard a strange noise up front on the discs but that might have been becasue the car sat for three days in the rain while I had the back end up in the air in the garage while I did the rear drums. It was a real job getting the drums off and on(next time it goes to the shop). Thanks,DM1

uhhhh.....i hope the taurus is 4x4 with a detroit in the rear cause this is the off-road section. although i would suggest having the drums turned, it sound slike they are warped (or take them back). also make sure there isn't any air in the brake lines!

I would guess something got screwed up with your ABS and that's what is causing the pulstating. My suggestion is to replace the rear end with a non-ABS Dana 60 and then swap a D44 into the front, with disc brakes of course.

Is this the same guy that bought the boggers from Pro? I'm wondering if he can fit the new 46" on there . . . might have to trim his windshield.
PS If this was a serious inquiry don't mind us, we're just a bunch of jackasses. Post your question in the brakes/suspension forum here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/f...splay.php?f=64

Just never know if people are serious and just didn't realize they posted in the wrong forum or if they're screwing around. Like that post on the ricer forum where the guy plumbed juice into his valve cover. Stranger things have happened though.

Yeah, I think my favorite part was when the one guy posts the picture with "NO!" and an arrow pointing to the valve cover and the other guy says "does n o stand for nitrous oxide? This is where I'm supposed to put it?"
Some people are unfreakin believable.

You guys were so mean that I had to take my Tarass to the Ford dealer.Though the service Mgr. looked at me a little strange when I told him to install non-ABS Dana 60 and then swap a D44 into the front, with disc brakes of course.
