After three weeks of driving I really like the Scorpian AS Plus 3. Very little road noise if any most of the time. They handle great. I have not driven them in heavy rain yet. In minor rain they were fine. Hopefully I will not have to test them in snow, here in Wisconsin for a while. I would buy these again.

I took it to the dealer and of coarse they did not hear it. Next time I will ride with them. I have six more months on the warranty, so I hope to get it figured out soon.

After two weeks I am very happy with the Powerstop rotors and pads. The shudder went away. I had to do a near panic stop this week and the brakes worked great. At least as good as OEM. The Geomet rotors look great as well.

Thanks, I have been babying the brakes. Maybe it is time to be more aggressive.

When I was doing a brake job on the car. I grabbed the CV half shafts and tried to move them. Both would move in and out slightly. (in line with the direction of the shaft). The right one gave a clicking sound when I did this. Kind of like what I was hearing in the car. Could this be the problem? My guess is no. The sound seems to be temperature dependent. We have had unusually cool weather the last few days and the sound is less noticeable. I did not seem to get much worse as the car heated up.

I have about 200 miles on the new brakes. I sometimes get a shudder, growling noise in the last 1 mph when I stop. Hopefully this will go away with further use.

Finally got the time to install the rotors and pads I got in June on my ST. Not that hard to do if you have the right tools. The 7mm and 11mm Allen sockets and the 18mm standard socket are not normally found in most tool sets you buy. A 1/2 inch impact wrench is also a good idea to have for the job. I can't find the thread here, but the idea to use a bolt through the holes for the anchor plate to remove the rotors is spot on. Both front rotors would not budge using a rubber mallet. I only had time to do the break in. So I cannot comment on how they function yet. The front pads had a lot of life left and the rotors were in pretty good shape. The rear pads were completely worn out and needed to be changed. I'll report back on how the brakes perform.

Giving us more information will help a lot. The model year is a good start. Also I wider photo of the area where the plug is.

I got the Scorpion AS PLUS 3s installed yesterday. Its too soon to be sure about the tires. My initial impression is good. They are definitely softer then the Goodyear Eagles I had before. Road noise is very low. Expansion joint noise is about the same, not bad but still there. Handling seems to be pretty good. I think I will lose the last bit of handling near the edge of the ST's capabilities. But I don't push it too far in my old age, so no great loss. I'll come back with more when I get some miles on them.

I just ordered 4 Pirelli Scorpion AS PLUS 3 tires from Tirerack. I hope to get them installed soon. I'll report back on how they perform.

The more I think about it. The clicking sound when I jacked up the wheel is probably normal when the car is in park. I think I have heard it before. The clunk when slowing down is slowly getting worse. Time to a drive to the dealer. Luckily it is still under the Ford extended warranty.

They look good, but the 20k mileage is just too low.

With on side of the car jacked up I get a clicking sound when I move the front wheel back and forth in the direction of rotation. It is the same for both wheels. (the other front wheel is on the ground). Is this normal? I can't remember if it made this sound in the past.

I have looked at virtually all the tire reviews for the ST. Most are centered on performance and/or mileage. I am looking for tires that give the quietest and most comfortable ride. I have the 20 inch wheels.

I just started getting a clunk sound when I take my foot off the gas. I also get it when I am slowing to a stop at a couple of miles per hour. I will put it up on stands tomorrow and check the CV joints and anything else I can wiggle on the front end. Has anyone has a similar thing happen?
