GQ brakes....

Post by Ryan »

just put new brakes across the rear of the GQ (pads only) about to do the front but got a quick question, on the test drive after doing the rears, (only a quick one round the block) it pulls to the left now under brakes, is that just because they have to wear in a bit b4 it will be all straight?? or have i done something wrong..... :? , its disks all round
any help appreciated


Cheers

Ryan

I did the same with mine about 6 months ago, and upon further inspection, the left rear calliper was locked on, check to see how hot your disk gets,

When u put new pads in any car, it takes about 70 km for them to fully 'BED' in and be seated right. If u have put them in right it is common for it to pull a little but will get better after about 70km of driving.

Ensure the slide pins are lubricated and dont have too mush wear.
Should be able to move caliper easily from side to side with pads out.
