Hi all,
Looking to do a brake system diagnosis/cross check followed by parts order:
2008 RR 4.2 Vogue SC
2009 RR 4.4 HSE
The bigger wheels & brakes on the Vogue feel heavier, almost like a faster tank on the road Cool
After a bit of reading, I see the below makes up the basics of the brake system, correct me if I'm wrong:
Discs (Rotors)
Pads
Sensors
Clips
Fluid
Lines
Hose
In car software check
2008 was recently at the dealer, they had no comment on the brakes, however I feel the pedal is way too soft, brake response is out of range and takes her a while to come to a stop. Occasionally I find my self opening the window and shouting get out the way! Good news is I'm a responsible driver .Also recent squeaks every now and then.
2009 came out of service not long back and was advised for front and rear pads replacement. Squeaky big girl.
Only picked up the 09 a few months back, the previous owner did advise to replace the brakes.
Aiming to stay as far away possible from the dealer, rely on enthusiasts, specialists on FFRR for support and guidance.
Hope to post up some pics on the aftermath.
Following the subject, if we could please start with the diagnosis first?
Apologies if this is a repost, the similar threads advised on seemed different.
Thanks,
