Thanks Men, I'll head out to the auto stores today and seek out the right sort of lubricant available downunder. If I can find the Bendix ceramic stuff then that's probably the best solution.

Owen, regarding the wheel alignment, I actually had one done about two weeks ago, and was told that it was close and didn't need much adjustment. However, I did this as the steering was drifting to the left and when the brakes were applied, an additional tug to the left could be felt. The drift was reduced a little after the wheel alignment but not eliminated, which bought me back to thinking the brakes were the main culprit. Today the plan is to dismantle the brakes, make sure the linings are tapered on the ends and then reassemble using lubricant and reverting back to the yellow springs for the secondaries. We'll be going to the All American Car Rally on Sunday so will give her a test run then and I'll report back how she went. Regards, John
