HACKGT350

well i finally realized how bad the rear is today. i put her up on the lift to rotate my driveshaft and i grabbed the wheel to spin it so i could get the top bolts on the driveshaft. i went to spin it forward and it felt like the car was in gear even though it wasnt. finally got the wheel to spin and it was still very very hard to spin and only one wheel was spinning. i spun it backwards and it spun fine both wheels at the same time the way its supposed to. so there is something really bad in there. i guess its time to do the 3.73's in the 8.8 i have sitting under the bench at work

might have a bad pinion bearing or carrier bearings

HACKGT350

what are you talking about fox with a working ebrake? i guess you guys dont know how to adjust it so it works. mine has always been nice and tight.

and yes thats exactly what i thought was wrong bad bearings.

well they are right about the non working ebrake, i havent seen a fox or a sn95 with a working ebrake in a while..haha how do u adjust it?

there's a little bolt with a nut on the end that you can tighten to adjust it. i tried to do mine a while ago, but it didn't fix anything. probably stretched cables, but idk.

HACKGT350

for a fox the bolt by the handle takes up the slack from a streched cable. to adjust your ebrake just adjust your rear brakes. pop the little gromit off the back of the drum and adjust the drums till you can feel a little bit of drag when you spin your wheels that will tighten up your ebrake real nice as well as making your brake pedel stiffer and actually start braking sooner. sn95's are self adjusting untill the cable streches then you need to tighten up the slack with the bolt on the handle
