Finished My Brakes

OcOnnor220 · August 8th, 2007, 01:44 AM

Ok, well...I finished putting on my cobra big brake kit and finished bleeding the system MAN are these brakes sensitive. And that metallic grinding sound was because I had the calipers on the wrong wheels...I did'nt know they were directional (perhaps if Ford Racing supplied more instruction manuals with their stuff this would'nt happen) so its stopping on a dime now.
Problem is Im hearing a rattling sound that increases with the car's speed, definately from the front it sounds like something is loose. The wheels are on tight, I just put new lug nuts on and the alignment is fine...anyone have any problem with these kits when they first put them on?
