ryan lang Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 yeah could be, mine did it last winter check the pistons on the front havent corroded, and the rear brakes might be stck on too.welcome to the club dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 best way is to jack it up and see if the wheels spin freely(dont forget to make sure the handbrake is off when you try spinning the rears lol) you will then find out which wheels are sticking!welcome to the club.

ryan lang Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 may have just frozen on with this weather, and to check the pistons, take the front wheels off, take the calliper off and just visually inspect the piston in the calliper, and check the 2 thingy, cant think of the name of them off the top of my head, im sure some1 will fill in my blank hahaall i can think is runners?EDIT: guide rods? haha some 1 help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
