Hey Guys,
I'm torqueing my CV bolts the other day and notice that when i turn my rear wheels, my left wheel makes a 'dragging' noise. like the brake pads are touching the rotor. Is there some adjustment i can do to just that one, or do i have to have the calipers rebuilt? My right front makes a similar noise, but not nearly as much. the other two are silent. |

I have no parking brake.
There are no cables at all going back there. the pin that would rotate to do that stuff is stuck on the left side, it's movable on the right side. I'll have to pull out the haynes to understand the rest of what you said, as I have no clue where any of the stuff you mentioned is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I once had a friend that said the definition of a gearhead is someone who only thinks of how to go fast and totally forgets how to stop.. yeah, i've been working on the engine for 7 months and only now care that my brakes make a funny dragging noise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |
