I have searched this board for the last 4 days reading posts regarding brakes, brakes, brakes…
I need some opinions/insight. My LC is a '92 w/ ~ 218 on the clock. It has rotors in the front and drums in the rear. Last week I replaced all four corners. I have done this many times, well with the rotors.
Our 16 year old is driving the truck when we permit it He seems to be trying to go 0-60 from stop sign to stop sign (not good and thats a whole other story). So hard baking on a 22 year old truck… Could this cause caliper to get stuck (the front passenger side)? He called and said that the pedal would go to the floor w/ very little braking power (also said that that front side was smoking a bit). I picked up the car checked fluids and drove home, no problem. I have checked for leaks, pulled wheels etc. and test drove with no additional issues. Anyone ever have an issue like this? I am very apprehensive about allowing him to continue to drive the LC due to well where should I start…
Any/all insight is very, very much appreciated.
Cheers, Jake
