Damn Brakes!!

dcrusupra · 10-04-2005, 04:04 AM

I just replaced my front rotors, lines, calipers, and the master cylinder. Everytime, after my car gets warmed up, the brakes start to grab. I can solve this by turning the car off and pumping the brakes a little. Im thinking its just some air in the lines but it might be something more. Anyone kno?

my supra used to do something similar. brakes would slowly start to apply themselves as the car got warm. checked a few things, then looked at fluid, some arse had put ATF in instead of brake fluid, so as it was getting hot, expanding, was applying the brakes.

check your brake fluid level...also you might have air in the lines thats why pumping the brakes helps...u might wanna bleed and refill the fluid because when teh brakes get hot...the air in the lines also heats up causing it to expand and applying the brakes..it happened to my friend's dodge stealth... we basically bled and refilled the fluid...see if that works
