And also check your discs and pads are not warped or sticky, maybe need oiled?Best thing to do really is take her to a decent garage and get them to take a look.Im sure more accurate advice will be along soon, but thats my initial thoughts ;)Peace OutJ Z Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 My brakes seem to have a fair bit of bias at the back but i love it!!!!My mates love following me too..... see me "backing" my car into corners supermoto styleee ;) ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestarlet Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 i would get your back brakes shecked out mate. prabably you will find that there will be a lot of dust in them and that you will only need the sharp edge on the leading shoe filled down a bit so the point isnt as sharp and probably the inside of the drum cleaned with sandpaper. try that first mate though maybe you might need a mechanic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
