Hi guys,

Will be needing a brake man in Traralgon to run his eyes under my daily (Ford Territory) in a week or two. New front brakes in Jan but the wobbles are back and hoping it's the rears as there's nothing coming through the steering wheel.

Not urgent, but looking for someone trustworthy if anyone can suggest?

Thanks.

Thats just a Territory thing. My 2016 Crapitory does the same. They are notorious for prematurely wearing out f & R bushes, which in turn wears tyres out faster and gives the wobbles. Same as breaking squealing. Took it to Ford as thats where work want it serviced, and they said its a Territory thing. We have three of them here and they're all the same.

Yeah mate I’m all over territory issues. Mine are good, all new replaced now. Just these rear brakes to do now I think. Will be spending a bit of time over Traralgon way for the next little while.

Yeah my boss refuses to fix the suspension issues. He said because they all do it so why bother. When I drive it on corrugated roads it sounds like the whole back end is going to fall out. I go though tyres every 30thou, all wear unevenly. So I just drive it and if it falls apart, meh. They go go great though. Plenty of power them.

Got it and replied mate. That first one wasn’t a PM from me. Maybe just a post quote notification.
