Expensive Weekend
Posted: June 4th, 2016, 9:01 am
And the weekend just started! I had my State inspection last week and was told that while passable, the rear brakes were really worn down. I made an appointment with a Ford truck center to have them replaced. Since I didn't have a service history from either of the 2 previous owners, I asked Ford to check the front brakes too. I also told them I've been hearing a binding sound whenever I turn hard right or left.
What was found and repaired:
- Rear brake pads, rotors, and seals
- Front brake pads, rotors, seals, repacked wheel bearings
- Driveshaft u-joints binding so replaced
- Found rear differential fluid dark so replaced
I feel comfortable now and it rides better. But boy did I take a dent to the wallet! What adds to my expensive weekend is my 2 car garage door's spring broke and I had to have that replaced...
