Default The IWE Actuators SUCK!!!!!

As many of you have already bitched about before, Ford should have never gotten rid of the live axle. That said, damn I miss my F350. I knew the actuator was bad and my brakes had been squealing on the way back from Texas so I guessed it needed new ones. Bought the actuator, pads and new rotors. Ended up not needing the pads or rotors as the caliper pins were frozen on both sides. Replaced actuator only. Although only a 30 min job, the design still sucks.
For those who are unaware, this should not be in 2 pieces....LOL



Then to top off my day, although not truck related, I FINALLY have decent enough weather to ride my bike. Pushed her out to the driveway and started it up. went inside to get my helmet, then heard the crash. It decided to fall over and break the stator cover......Rat bastard
