Brake pad smell after long downhills
Checked pads maybe 5,000 miles ago and pads were about 1/2 left. I leave driveway at 10,380 pds in 2003 Ford f 350 frame. Within spec's but sort of close to max on axles. I warmed up brakes pretty ...

It takes new Caliper Brackets and they mount on the Rear Edge of each Steering Knuckle. I believe the Axles are the same as 2007 and earlier, with the addition of a boss for a Sway Bar with End Links. They even left the holes in the axles that the bushing pressed into for the 1992-2007 bars. What they did with Knuckles/Spindles isn't clear to me. I've learned that the "new" axles are used from E150 through E450, big brakes and all. So the Springs make up the difference in front GAWR, and then there's the Dual Wheel Hubs plus however many other hubs it takes to accommodate the various single wheels. But I don't know what Ford was doing before the "consolidation." Say you put a "new" axle in a 1994 E150. That might result in bigger, stronger Ball Joints than the original axle had. But it'd still fit. Would just have to come from a donor that has the same wheel type.
Quigley told me that I could just swap from the Spindles/Knuckles out. But that wouldn't install the updated and zero-mileage ball joints, axle bushings, along with the redesigned radius arm and its new bushings.
