hopefully someone else is had this issue and can help, I have a 2005 Lib GT - on a right hand turn with suspension under load it sound like the park brake is engaging on the p/side - doesn't happen on left turns to the right - i have checked the park brake adjustment but still cant figure this out - I have recently replaced the wheel bearing as I though this was the issue, sound isnt as bad but is still present - any thoughts???

Rear brake noise to clarify? Sounds like what?

Did you adjust the handbrake at the handle or at the rear wheels? It sounds to me that the adjuster on the rear wheel on the passenger side has been adjusted further than the driver side.

Just a quick Question Regarding Brake Lines:
Worth the upgrade for a 2008 3.0RB?

I know the goodridge ones ADR approved.
Are there any other brands that garage 88 stock that are ADR approved?

What is generally cost for braided brake lines all round + Installation.

Sorry didn't read all 7 pages :(

Cheers

Yes.

Plenty of other brands - but there's no difference between them at the end of the day, other than cosmetics. If they're ADR approved, they'll do the same job.

Average price is about $200 depending on source, plus installation (but honestly, do it yourself - it's deadset easy). I got my Goodridge lines through a group buy on these very forums.
