G'day, Having just acquired a '90 L series sports wagon, the front disc pads were down to almost nothing so were replaced. Now when braking lightly at around 50kmh (30mph) the front end shimmies (shakes) quite badly. Other than that the ride and braking is smooth, and the front wheels do not appear to be out of balance, and all the ball joints appear tight. I don't know if this problem was there before the pad change. Any suggestions, other than replacing everything by trial and (mostly) error? Thanks, DG in Oz

G'day, Well I give up! Can anyone point me to a detailed description on how the auto-adjuster park-brake activates the front discs on my '90 Series L 4WD? I have completely dismantled a caliper, but still don't understand how the slack is taken up by the multistart thread when both the inner actuator (male thread) and piston (female thread) are prevented from rotating! One or the other surely has to rotate. What am I missing here? (This all started when one piston would not screw screw back in). Thanks, DG
