god damn the brakes just shake when slow from speeds like 55 and up so getting off the highway mostly, if got other things to fix first, but brakes will be done soon, i have front brakes they just done fit, somehow my front brakes where for an e1 but the backs were for an e0 so i never put the fronts on, now i need to so i need a set of e1 calipers.

Glad you got things figured out and fixed.
Who tuned your car? have you dyno'd it at all?

Umm fail! All Contours from 95-00 with V6's had the exact same rear calipers! :help:

sounds your back to where i am. haha.
Well I drove the car on Saturday and immediately knew what the problem was. Remember when we told him to check that the secondaries were opening and he said he would? Well appearently he didn't. As soon as I got on it, I had a good idea what the problem was. I could hear the change in sound when the secondaries kicked in, but the power was not there. So what does that mean? That the linkage rod on the LIM had popped out. SURE ENOUGH, the road had popped out on one side and so only half was opening.I got it to hold for two pulls with a zip tie, but it popped out again. The plastic grommet that holds it in was gone and so it needs to be replaced before it is back to 100%.
Moral of the story and lesson to be learned for Knott, yet again, listen to what people tell you! The people on this site are very educated and know much more than you do. It will help you to start to listen to them and check what they tell you to check. You are just hurting yourself and your car :nonono:
Seriously, how many effing times do we need to tell you? This forum has suggested things to you time and effing time again and you just ignore it! I hope everyone ignores you next time you have an issue!
and get your damn brakes done, im sure those 'other things to fix' are slightly less important than keeping yourself (not that I care) or a stranger out of danger.
Just for you: :nonono::nonono:
