What would cause the rear brakes to leak on one side wetting the pads and how do you fix this?
You have a leak in the caliper piston most likely due to rust which causes brake fluid to leak past the rubber seal. To fix, you have to either rebuild the caliper yourself or buy a rebuilt caliper from the parts store. If you buy a rebuilt caliper, it will come loaded or unloaded. Loaded = comes with brake pads. Unloaded = caliper by itself (no pads).
What else can I help you with?
Could a vacuum leak cause a dash brake warning light to come on during acceleration?
YES-IF IT has a vaccume booster & not Hydro or air brakes
What problems could be caused if the pcv valve was left off?
You probably would have a sever vacuum leak and the power brakes wouldn't work very good and the engine would idle fast.
What if when you put on brakes in your 1993 fleetwood it sound like want to turn off?
vaccum leak possibly
Will a upper trans cooler line leak cause any damage?
If you run the transmission low on fluid you can cause damage. Fix the leak.
What would cause an oil leak around the muffler on a 2004 Sunfire?
THATS usally cause by the engine using oil-because of bad oil rings etc.
In a Windstar van what would cause a persistent whistling sound if not the belts or the brakes?
vacuum leak
Can brake work cause a coolant leak?
If a coolant leak were caused by brake work, I'd never have that person work on my brakes - ever. Just the brakes, I would think it highly unlikely that it would result in a coolant leak. If they were replacing the master cylinder, then I could see a possibility of someone inadvertently causing a coolant leak, but that would still even be a stretch.
What would cause a 2004 dodge stratus to stall when the brakes are pressed 2.4L engine?
you might have a vacuum leak in your intake manifold
What would cause fluid to leak on the rear passenger tire of a 2002 Ford F150?
I have to believe that it would be a bad wheel cylinder that controls the back brakes.
What would cause 2003 TB to vibrate while in park or stopped with brakes on?
Possibly a broken motor mount. If it runs good otherwise one cause can be a vacuum leak. The check engine light should be on if it is a vacuum leak.
What would cause the RPM to raise when you apply the brakes on a Saturn SL2?
vacaum leak or bad throttle position sensor. gm Jim
Why only air is used in air brakes not any other solid?
Well, they wouldn't be air brakes then, would they? The reasons for air is that it's in steady supply, and a leak in the system doesn't cause you to use your supply.
What would cause a squealing sound if it is not the brakes or belts when engine is running on idle condition?
Check for a vacuum leak around the throtle body and intake manifold.
Why pneumatic brakes are used in commercial vehicles?
Because air is in constant supply - thus, a leak in the system won't necessarily render the brakes inoperable, whereas, with hydraulic brakes, the fluid would leak out until it had emptied.
Can an air leak on the emergency side of a maxi chamber cause the service brakes to activate?
Yes, an air leak on the emergency side of a maxi chamber can cause the service brakes to activate. The maxi chamber relies on a certain air pressure to maintain the proper function of the brakes. If there's an air leak, it can lead to a drop in pressure, inadvertently triggering the service brakes to engage as a safety measure. This could result in unintended braking while the vehicle is in operation.
What would cause brakes on 1987 Pontiac 6000LE to quit working One day i pushed the brakes and the pedal lost pressure and now it feels like only one of the brakes is working?
you have brake fluid leak in your brake system somewhere that need to be check.
Can a vacuum leak cause braking problems in a jeep yj?
On a vehicle equipped with power brakes the answer is yes. The P/B booster works on vacuum, so if the leak were severe enough it would make the brake pedal be very hard to push. Other than that, as vacuum leak would have no effect on braking.
