rubber smell after towing

[matrix243]

Here's the angle it was sitting at. Doesn't seem that bad. Was getting alot of highbeam flashes at night.

looks good to me. one thing I now is the nano's brake all the time if it was slippery on road? either way I've had the smell tearing it up in the yard but I narrowed it down to break pads.

Check your spare tire and see if its rubbing on the exhaust!! Too many dealers check the tire pressure and then leave the damn spare loose under the bed, often it will rest against the exhaust pipe and with high load on the motor the exhaust gets hotter, it can and will burn the spare tire!!

My spare is in the garage, so in my case its not that.

I had assumed it was just seat heaters. Will be checking spare tire.

I just noticed my wire harness is falling off the frame, stupid Ford using electrical tape to hold the wiring on.

Yep. Pretty sure it was brake pads cause it was most pronounced after hard braking on a hill. Really smelled like rubber though.

Brake pads don't smell like rubber.

That's what I thought.

Also, anyone have problems seeing the road at night with that angle? Especially with the snow coming down, had a bitch of a time. Big rigs were even flashing me, probably even more then regular cars.

this is weird to say but I can't wait for mine to were out so I can get the race line breaks from FMS (Chris)
