For anyone in the know...

I've just fitted some new brakes to front of my RST (see below)...it has rear discs on the back/no-abs and all the standard split diagonal lines with load compensators.

Anyway bled the brakes up and took it out for a spin...when you brake the car feels like it wants to spin off the road into the ditch . (I think the front left and rear right are locking up).

Before I start fucking about with it again...is this likely that one circuit is bled up correctly and the other isn't?

Is it possible to do this and still get a good pedal???

Or is likely to be something else?

 

I'd be interested to see what ppl have to say about this... I will be doing mine soon, and have the rear load comps still on the car, some people say remove them others run them and say it aint a prob when braking.... I don't know

 

Caliper looks weired???????????? how is that it is sat so low on the front look at mine.

 

Just the way the caliper brackets have been made....(Brom @ Zoo)

 

do the calipers bite and then release smoothly, you can test by jacking it up ans have someon press the brake whilst you spin the wheel by hand. only suggesting it cos one of my calipers ( hi-spec )had seized slightly so i replaced the seals. also have you got adjustable coil-overs cos i also had the problem that the rears were too firm and not set right so everytime i braked hard it pulled violently to the left, i softened them to as low as they will go and now it is much better and smoother to drive too.

 

For John....

 

Is it over-braking on the back John or does it feels balanced before throwing you off ? Just sounds like 1 caliper isn't working correctly somewhere.

 

Update...

Bled the all four corners again and it now brakes in a straight line I think when I bled the front right and rear left I ran out of fluid in the resevoir and hence that digonal wasn't working the brakes properly.

All sorted now

 

Nice one. Glad it was somethign simple
