Why are the Front brakes are sliding just replaced back brakes?
You still have air in the back brake lines or they are not adjusted properly which is making the front brakes take the full load
Why do the brakes lock up on a 1994 ford Crown Victoria?
Lets say you do not have ABS. If that is the case, is it the front or the back brakes. If it is the back brakes, then it is possible that the brake springs have to be changed, that is of course if you have drum brakes. If you have 4 wheel disk, then its another problem, possible the brake equilizer valve has to be replaced.
When you replace your front brake pads should you also replace your rears?
Usually the rear pads or brake shoes depending on whether or not the back brakes are disc or drum brakes will last 2 times longer the the front brakes. 75% of your braking is done by the front brakes. For example, if you have 60,000 miles and your front pads need to be replaced the rear ones will only be about 1/2 worn out.
What would cause a loud grinding noise when brakes are applied even after brakes parts has been replaced?
It is a cause and effect thing. Was the other axle inspected if all the brakes, front and rear, were not replaced? Can you tell where it's coming from at all? Is the noise identical from when before the brakes were replaced? Year, make, model and mileage would help as well. Drum on rear? Don't assume the brakes were done correctly. Believe it or not, I have done a few where someone put the pads…
What is the problem if the brakes squeal after changed?
There are a couple of possibilities. One is lack of lubrication of brake system moving and/or contact points such as between back of pads and caliper housing and/or piston. Another could be that, the rotors/discs are warped/distorted and need to be machined or more preferably, replaced. If you replaced the front brakes (example) and you still have a squeal, it's possible it may be coming from the rear brakes.
After bleeding your front disc brakes 74 Spitfire the brakes work very well except they don't release The pads on both front wheels stay locked to the rotor What did you do wrong?
Answer They won't move back very much. If you can spin the wheel, that's about all you'll get. If it still rubs or hangs up, you may need to clean and lube or possibly even replace the callipers. My '89 Firebird front disk brakes won't release for about 15 seconds after applying brakes. Replaced calipers with new, no change. Replaced master cylinder with new, no change. Next to try is the combination valve unit since…
How do you release the back brakes on a astra van there coming on before the front ones?
your back brakes are supposed to apply before your front brakes, they do this so your car does not take a nose dive every time you apply the brakes. but if it is very noticeable i would check the adjustment of your rear brakes (if you have a disc/drum setup) or i would check your proportioning valve if they are locking up
Do you have to replace the back brake shoes if you change front pads?
No. You will only need to replace the brake shoes if they are worn down. Generally the front brakes do 70% of braking leaving the rear with 30%, which will cause the front pads to wear first. What is important however is that you replace either front brakes or rear brakes as a set. i.e. if you're replacing the front brakes do the right and left side.
Do you need to change all brakes for ABS same time?
Not really unless all your brake bads are badly worn down , since abs compensates for the rate of rotation for each wheel so that you brake straight , keeping in mind that the front brakes take the most load and the back brakes take less so you should replace them in sets (front brakes) & (back brakes)
What is the proper way to bleed brakes if you replace a front brake line?
Hello, You always start with the line that is furtherest from the master cylinder which is usually the passenger side back. then the driver side back, passenger side front,driver side front. It usually don't take much for the back just bleed each one two or three times each. Depending on which one you replaced on the front you need to bleed it until there is no air spitting out. You need two people to do…
Is changing front and rear brakes on an ABS Chevrolet Cavalier the same?
every cavalier (unless modified) has rear drum brakes and front disk brakes. Wether it has ABS or not doens't effect the changing of the brakes, it needs front pads and rotors, and back needs drums and shoes... so the front is different from the back You should disconnect the battery cable as a safety procedure so the ABS will not try to work when you are working with the brakes. Just be aware that in…
Why Your back brakes need change before your front brakes?
If its a rear wheel drive car it would be because more power to that axle, therefore more stopping power is exerted by the brake pads. When applying braking more forces are exerted on the front of the vehicle, this is why vehicles fitted with only one set of disc brakes (superior to drum) use them on the front of the car, and why front brakes usually wear faster. In your case I might suspect…
04 alero front brakes get hot why?
This could be for a few reasons, but if they are getting hot without you applying them, I would suggest that they are sticking and causing the pads to rub on the discs, or if they are drum brakes, the shoes on the drums. If they are only getting hot as a result of using the brakes, I would suggest checking that the brakes are balanced properly, and that the front brakes are not doing…
Why are disc brakes normally used on the front?
disc brakes are usually used on the front of a car is because the braking ratio for any Car is 70 / 30 ........70 percent of the braking power goes to the front 30 percent goes to the back also if you had disc brakes on the rear of the Car and you slam on (emergency stop) the brakes would lock and you would slide all over the road
Where can you see a picture or diagram of the rear brakes of a 2002 Plymouth Voyager?
Unless its already too late, the opposite side brakes are almost exactly the same. The only difference is that the front side of one brake is the same as the front side of the opposite brake. That is, front is front, back is back, what you see on the left of one brake set will be on the right of the opposite set.
My front brakes or back brakes dont work on my mongoose Ko bike when i pull the brakes what do i do?
Which reservoir on a master cylinder on a 97 s-10 is to the front brakes?
The back reservoir is for the front and the front reservoir is for the back. Since 80percent of your stopping power is in the front brakes you need to activate them slightly before the back breaks to keep the car under control. SO, when you push on the pedal, the piston moves to allow fluid from the back reservoir to flow first. The fluid is then routed to a metering valve to ensure both sides…
