The front brakes may not release on your vehicle due to issues such as a stuck caliper, brake fluid leak, or a problem with the brake pads. It is important to have a professional mechanic inspect and repair the brakes to ensure safe driving.
I have a 99 grand am and I am tring to replace the brakes on the front of my car but when I go to put the brakes back on the caliper wont line up wheats wrong with this? How do I fix this?
Unless the calipers are frozen- you will have a slight drag as the brake pads maintain contact with the caliper
sounds like a brake caliper piston is hanging up a little or slide bolts are sticking and need lubed
Pumping brakes can help restore pressure to the brake calipers temporarily. But this method wont work if the vehicle is equipped with ABS, or anti-lock brakes. Usually, down shifting will help slow the vehicle down, but not stop completely.
my Acura legend brakes are fine and Thank you the problem is my interior inside my car looks like dirty and i need to clean it so it will look brand new... I love my 1992 Acura Legend.
You have to replace the gasket because when you take the manifold off it brakes the seel and air will be sucked into the manifold and your vehicle will hardly run, and you wont be able to drive it You have to replace the gasket because when you take the manifold off it brakes the seel and air will be sucked into the manifold and your vehicle will hardly run, and you wont be able to drive it
You will hurt somebody, maybe yourself. Get them checked NOW!
you had better check that out thoroughly, it isn't normal for that to happen. Front and rears should be drum brakes, and theres really no valve to malfunction. My first thought is that the cylinders have overextended and cocked sideways locking the shoes against the drum, this could happen if the shoes were extremely worn out, or the assembly was put together wrong. Second thing to check isn't even the brakes, your front axle may be locked. The next time the front brakes are locked up, open one of the brake bleeders up front. If the pressure releases you have a restriction in the hydraulic system such as a pinched brake line or a collapsed brake hose. If you open the front bleeders and the front brakes are still locked up and they are disc brakes, you may have stuck/frozen brake calipers or stuck caliper slide pins.
Ii might be the way the brakes was bled. The brakes has to be bled with the car running and in this order: right rear, left front, left rear, right front. The computer wont recognize any other way.
Remove the brake pads and rotors, take them to the auto parts store and buy the replacment parts with the NEW parts right in front of you. That way you'll get the right part. Sometimes the manufacturer will put larger brakes on a vehicle with certain options. If your auto parts store doesn't know about it they might not be able give you the right parts.
If it shakes only when the brakes are applied, its the brakes. Just because they are "good" and stop the truck well doesn't mean they are balanced and wont cause a vibration.
USUALLY the fatter line is for the front disk brakes. I am assuming your vehicle is disk / drum combination. To really confirm just trace the lines and see where they go. Trace the easiest line(s) first. You wont have to trace the last line as its the last wheel you didnt trace it to.
