well before i changed all teh hoses on my motor when i would break the wheels on teh driver side would lock up and i would skid on that side. When i chnaged the hoses 2 dayts ago i drove the car today and it was fine and it didnt lock up. then later on the brakes started acting up again. What could this be?? Could it be a proportioning valve? i chnaged all teh brake pads and brake boots and 2 rear wheel cyinders and 2 front bleeders. HELP HELP HELP!!!
Did you bleed the brakes in order after you did all the work to them?
Pass rear, Driver rear, Pass front, Driver front?
not in that particular order but i dunt think it would matter would it? all my other cars r ok but not sure if my bro bleed them that way
WEll, thats how I was told to do them. How it was explaned to me was that in that order, it removes the air fromthe lines, front ot back. The farthest from the master cylinder is frist, then next to last, and so on. I just did the brakes in mine that way and it stops fine. No pulling. I did the WHOLE rear setup and new front padsm then bleed them all.
ok ima try your way then it makes lots of sense bout the air in teh lines. ill let you kno.. thanks again
Good luck
When you changed the pads how did the piston in the caliper feel and what was it's condition? Could be sticking.
o0o i have ot ask my brother cause he was the oen who changed it. ill get back to you on that one
Sounds to Me a seized caliper, this is frequent after changing front pads...
Regards,
ive seen before where someone took the caliper off to replace pads...but when they put the caliper back on, they rotated it 360* end over end, so this twisted the brake lines to the point very little fluid passed through it, id double check your soft lines to see if they got twisted around
how did the pins look? could be them.
