So anywayz i had when ahead and did an alignment on it since the wheels that it has on now were mounted on there without an aligment, at least thats what i was told. Yet, the car keeps pulling towards the left side when i brake. I read through the bentley manual and it says its the calipers but im trying to find out, if anyone thinks otherwise before i go and try to replace both front calipers | | | 04-27-2006, 07:04 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: bris Posts: 287 | hi there i had the same problem, as well as shaking when breaking. i have replaced the outer ball joints and control arm bushings as recmonded by a few people n teh site and it is all ok now as far as braking goes for me. | | | 04-28-2006, 03:54 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Plano Texas Posts: 206 | If it shakes when braking your rotors are pobally warped __________________ K&N Cone Filter with Heat Shield, Racing Dynamics Strut bar, Blisten yellow sport suspension, Clears all around, Angel eyes, Dinan Engine Chip, Infinity BassLink 10" Sub, Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel | | | 04-28-2006, 04:01 AM | #4 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | brake hard to a stop from a fairly high speed and get out to see if one side is quite a bit hotter (brake calipers) than the other. you may find one is not working much at all (sticking). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
