Spirit R/T brakes sticking!!! arrrggggg... (with ABS)

[vipernbox]

Most of the time this is the rubber lines... Those are brand new..

Just did new pads, rotors, and a master cylinder when I purchased the car as the pedal was soft... Now of course the new pads and probably the rotors are trashed.......


The Calipers seemed to be fine. I have taken them off a couple times and sure don't find a problem...

Both front brakes are dragging... the rears don't seem to be getting hot... I can drive it around the block once and it will be fine... Then they will start in.... Popping a bleeder just lets a tiny bit of pressure off if any at all...


I have pulled all the connecters to the ABS stuff... Flushed the fluid several times and it bleeds and flushes easily.. I don't see any pinched steel lines...



Where would you go next? Thinking maybe calipers, which given the hot run home probably need to be rebuilt now anyway... but........


Could something in the ABS be screwing with me? Even electrically disconnected?

Check the adjustment on the booster, I bet its slighly keeping the brakes on and when they get hot, they lock up. Get them dragging, jack up the front wheels, unbolt the master or loosen it and see if they stop dragging.

Good Call!!!!


I knew I was overlooking something simple. One of those moments... Getting old I guess.

So was that it?

I almost don't want to admit that it was because it darn sure isn't something I should have overlooked... Now I just need to quit driving the car and fix it properly...
