brake lockup
when i apply the brakes more than once at low speed the right rear brake locks up what is causing it to do that? is it adjusted too tight?
|
Wheel cylinder leak? Brake fluid on your shoes will cause the pad to "grab".
|
Like gr8scott51 said, either Brake fluid or the self adjustor is not working correctly. Every time you touch the pedal it could be tightening the brake. I had one do this once when doing about 65...shew what a ride!

i just pulled the drum and everything is clean and dry. it only locks up if i apply the brakes more than once at low speed less than 10 mph. at faster speeds i can brake hard and it dosen't lock up.
|
fixed it it was just adjusted way too tight
|
Just to toss another cause out there... Mine used to lock up one rear wheel after the brakes got heated up from driving and never when cold. I found the cause was a stuck emergency brake cable.
It was making the brake stay on just a little bit. This made the brake heat up and get sensative. |
A warped brake drum can cause lockup at low speed as well...Especially when wet.
