i recently replaced my entire brake system. Integ 4 wheel disks with new pads/rotors/lines and reman calipers/booster/master cyl. prop valve. first two days of driving very easy on brakes mostly engine braking. then on third day went to get on freeway and the car slowed alot when i went to shift. brake pedal was hard and couldnt push it in. car wouldnt go faster then 40. i smelt brakes burning so i pulled over and the pads were smoking and rotors were discolored. basically my brakes locked up and it looks like my rotors are done. does anyone have any ideas what could have caused this? has this happened to anyone or a friend? any suggestions would be helpful

Did you bleed the brakes properly? Did you put the pads on correctly?

yeah ive had the same thing happened to me, after like tens mins or so they were good anyway, im not sure what happened. Your saying everything is new? thats werid? what brand of calipers did you buy factory?

speedfreek128

yes i bled them in the order the manual said. the pads only go on one way

speedfreek128

the calipers are remanufactured oem from advance auto parts

i ment the calipers where did you get they from autozone, or honda ? or did you rebuild old ones

im thinking it must be a defective booster because how unlucky could i be to have two calipers stick at the same time

sounds like your brake fluid could have gotten contaminated somehow.

turboedsohc89

true but it would only take one wit new pads to lock solid and the car wouldnt move.

i used new fresh fluid and made sure the fluid coming out of bleeder was clear and bubble free.... even if moisture got into the fluid it couldnt have been much

i bought the calipers from advance auto parts. reman oem nissin calipers

speedfreek128

both front calipers locked up

the other day when i got my car towed it moved pretty easily...im gonna remove the lines and flush them and also try to clear the calipers hopefully that does it

can anyone tell me how to adjust the push rod on the booster.... i figured out that might be the problem
