I will strip it all down when I have a chance, but I need the car every day so need to get parts in before stripping down.
I have new (genuine) shoes and the earlier adjusters (which I have been told can be used to eliminate the "rock". Given its all got to come apart anyway I will put new discs and pads in too - but what else should I be getting in to sort this out?
Any ideas for common faults?
Thanks!
