HEy Guys,
I just took my car out for the first time since last november. So far so good, except the brake pedal feels VERY soft. I bled the system properly and tried my best to adjust the rear brakes. I think this is where my issue is. After short easy drive the right rear was pretty damn hot, it's dragging. But when spinning the wheel by hand it reaches a certain point and requires excess force to spin it. I noticed this when I first installed the brakes (Porterfield R4S and standard rotors). The I removed the rotor and sanded down the mating surface. The gap between the inner rotor and the hub looks consistent. Before I did the brakes I remember there was a slight vibration from the rear. Could the hub be the problem? I'm going to readjust the rear right caliper spacing and try again. Any ideas? So two issues: 1) very spongy brakes 2) dragging right rear Thanks |
