brake pads fell off...lol

Traidmarx · March 24th, 2009, 09:24 AM

well i got everything changed over and bled the brakes and all last night, only weird thing me and my friend noticed while doing it was that all the other brakes on the car had about 75% of the pad left. only that one wheel had the pads looking bad and and grinding, here is a pic of the two back calipers i took off you can see how far the piston got stuck out in one of them. any ideas why only one wheel would have worn brakes???

you need proportioning valves and calibrate it so equal pressure is going to all wheels

Then you see people in town who have no brakes, so they are trying to shove the tranny in reverse to slow down.... (loud grinding noise as reverse lights come on) Maybe my logic is false, but I think replacing the brakes is cheaper than replacing the tranny... lol.

brake pads cheaper than tranny!?

no way..i much rather jus throw it in reverse, alot less effort... LOL AND i get alot more attention at stop lights!
