  1. Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels & Tires
    Hello All - I have a 1973 Berlina with a sticky front passenger side caliper. Up on jack stands there was clearly some sticky rubbing when turning the wheel. All other wheels freely spin. I have taken the wheel off, and removed the brake pads, although the brake pads were hard to remove...
  2. GT (1963-1977)
    Just a note to warn against buying "Kunifer" brake piping on the usual online platforms such as Amazon, eBay and the like. It may even find its way into the low-cost parts retailers in Europe and the US as well. Typical examples abound on eBay, also the online platforms here in Asia. It is...
  3. GT (1963-1977)
    Guys, I am restoring a 1967 Giulia Sprint GT (The Red One). I purchased the car fully stripped with paint and body work completed. So I am starting to put the car back together. I have download manuals for parts description and breakdown. I am starting on replacing all the brakes. So my...
  4. 1900, 2000 & 2600 (1950-1968)
    Hi My car is an alfa romeo 2000 touring. Still trying to solve the issue with the brakes, after finding a leaking master cylinder, we are checking the wheel cylinders. At the rear I have 1”wheel cylinders and at the front we have 1 1/4” wheel cylinders, with a 1” master cylinder. Whilst...
  5. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hey everybody, I’m currently in the process of replacing the rear brake pads and rotors on my ‘91 164L. I’ve removed both caliper bolts (top & bottom), but the caliper has shown no intention of moving. Using a screwdriver I think I’ve finagled it a little bit, but have become stuck again. Is...
  6. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Lucky me finally landed an S1 Spider (1967 1600 ivory). It's a solid driver and I cruised at 70 mph on the interstate on my 100 mile drive picking it up. I noticed that the brakes were soft and when I went to check the fluid I was surprised to see a black rubber thing floating in the reservoir...

    Pricing at least for the smallest kit is IMO reasonable as well. (Edit: Updated links Jan 2024) 6 Piston 305mm rotors https://www.taroxbrakes.us/product/front-tarox-brake-kit-alfa-romeo-164-3-0-v6/ 6 Piston 315mm Rotors...
  8. Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels & Tires
    Recently I bought 4 brake calipers for my 1974 Spider from Rock Auto the left front was from Cardone and the other 3 were from Centric. I was real impressed with the build quality of the Cardone caliper but the Centric calipers are shall we say "LACKING". The biggest problem I have is that all...
  9. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Hey all, I have recently decided to do some work on my brakes. Years ago I replaced the booster, master cylinder and the calipers. Ever since the brake pedal engages a bit late, around 2-3 inches down before it engages. Today we tried to vacuum bleed it to see if there was just some air...

  11. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Update - MC ordered. Thanks for the help I appear to have a master cylinder leaking from what I suspect is the “atmosphere port” (see pic). Any repair other than a complete master cylinder?
  12. Electrical, Chassis & Lighting
    I am in the midst of troubleshooting my brake lights, but can't quite figure out how to get the plunger switch off. I found a video on YouTube that shows a metal clip, but mine doesn't seem to have that. It looks like I need to back out a threaded plastic rod, but there is a black electrical...
  13. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Around a year ago I was driving home from my brother's house and hit a pothole on the parkway. Immediately after hitting the pothole, I noticed I had footwell lights. Previous to this occurrence, I had no idea there were footwell lights in the car. As I easily gained footwell lights in my car...
  14. Stelvio & Tonale
    Hi All, I recently purchased a pre-owned/exec driven 2019 Stelvio QF about 14k km's and I freaking love it. However, it has a major annoyance with the CCB's - they chirp/click on brake at low speeds almost all the time from front left wheel(right wheel some times) unless I modulate the brake...
  15. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Hi.. I pulled this low mile spider out of storage to get back to excellent running shape. The front calipers were sticking, so had them rebuilt. When I reinstalled them, the brakes felt pretty good, but not amazing. (I have an 86 Quad as well to compare). I noticed a fluid drop, and looked...

    Hello everyone, I'm restoring a 1961 giulietta sprint veloce. I'm currently have issues with the parking brake system. It's to my understanding that the veloce had a different/altered backing plate as well as cables and floor mounts to make the system operate. My issue, I can't find any...

  19. Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels & Tires
    Hi, I am now out of ideas trying to solve a very heavy metallic "knock" when I press the brakes hard and quick. If the car is rolling (slow or quick) there is the loud "knock" if i press hard and quick, if it's stationary there is no noise at all. The car drives very well and brakes ok...
