 Posted: Thu May 02, 2002 6:22 pm Post subject: failing/sticking brakes |
 |
|
my brakes lock up when i go along, with out even pressing the pedal. they do not fully 'lock', but pressure is applied , and the car struggles to go. my wheels get really hot, and the brakes have smoked like a mutha when i kept driving it to get it home. i have recently changed the master cyl, front pads & calipers, and it still plays up! I think i did everything right, and now i am just clueless as to whgat to do after spending all that money on brake gear, for no results.
Any help is much appreciated.

it is one oneside wouldnt he being taking off from the lights and start doing a big circle coz his brakes are fucked??!?! hahah
corollas are nuttin but trouble.
u think u can do things to lil cars but not really...like a corona wagon for example which now has a rust hole aboutt he size of 4 50c coins in a big circle
just thrash it and then take it home to ur dad or mum and bitch about it and they might get u a lil load from their wallets to ur hand for another car. |

strip ur corolla...take out seats, stereo exhaust...etc
take all interior shit in to ur room. bluetack door trim to ur walls and a rear view mirror on the window, put ur seats set up like a car
staple the wheels to ur carpet and pretend ur driving a monster-house-truck.
then wake up and blow the fucker up. |

| Seeing they're brand new calipers, are the slide pins greased properly? If they're not, they could be sticking. Also, how old is the master cyl.? |
