Okay, another parts cannon was fired. All four corners have new rotors and pads. Two new sensors and e-brake adjustments were made. The hand brake begins to grab on the first clicks. Now it doesn't have to go to max pull to hold it from rolling. The previous owner stated brakes had been done with two years of purchase. Well, they didn't last long. Austin traffic soon proved it by steer shaking under hard braking. The shaking is what started a front suspension refresh. Finally all out replacement with an oil pan gasket fix. The rear pads were okay. The fronts were unevenly worn out. One pad was really bad. It must have been the one causing steer shaking on hard braking. All four corners and new 255/60R17 tires stop the X5 hard and fast. It was so hot I had to pull out a canopy for shade plus use a box fan. I need to finish cleaning my garage out to have work room.
Plus I used 6-7 cans of brake cleaner. 3 new full cans and some partial cans I had around the garage.
