savage x brakes on 4.6ss? is it possible?

[jgoodw3]

My brakes on my 4.6 ss are locking up and getting into the bell cluch I was wondering if you could go to the savage x brake system or if anybody has experinced problems with the 4.6 ss brakes hopefully they can tell me how to fix this problem. Before i narrowed it down to the brakes, tore up both the diffs that was fun, but I know they are done right.

the savage X is a dual disc right?

yes it is i think stainless steel

just go for the dual disc brake kit.....awesome stoppies!

[jgoodw3]

thats what I got but for some reason the disks rub on the bell clutch

[Chunky Monkey]

they shouldn't, the link I posted was the aftermarket brakes for your model SS

[Chunky Monkey]

how big of a clutch bell do you have on it?

[jgoodw3]

its a 16 tooth i think

I have bashing my savage x brakes work good on my x. I will probly just have to buy a new center diff case so the I can get R done on my 4.6 ss savage. A screw hole is stipped out.

savage x dosent have duel steel disks i just got mine upgraded to them standard ones aint to great

they suck massively. its a single fibre pad on the X, and the cup that the brake sits on is really big and has to be changed. the dual brakes are awesome (when seated) and i would reccomend them.. as someone said.. awesome stoppies.

[jgoodw3]

what do you mean by "seated"? Do you mean installed right? because I think a screw hole is stipped out of the transmission when it was put together.

hi i also have the 4.6 with the duel disk brakes wich also rub agaist the clutch bell. i don't know why this is but it is a fundemental problem with the 4.6. with the design of the duel brakes. i have also stripped my rear pinion and crown gearand i think my front is on its way.
