I took of the center console today and saw my E-brake cables uneven arent they suppose to line up even? im wodering if its normal or theres something wrong with my E-brake cables. sometimes i feel like my brakes dragging alittle. here are the pics

E-brake released


E-brake engaged

 

Normal, thats what the little pivot plate/equalizer is there for. One cable stretches more then the other and it still pulls them both the same.

 

ohh thanks so i think my prob is the calipers

 

Is there a little slack in the cables/handle when it is down? Looks kinda tight in the pic. If there isnt just a little slack (you should feel it in the handle as well), then loosen that nut a couple turns.

 

yours isn't as bad as mine.

i have a seized rear driver's side caliper. it is stuck open.



is the rotor rusty or cold after you drive? then your caliper isn't touching it. it could also be stuck closed, and it would drag on the rotor all the time.

 

The rear calipers have a habit of seizing up....the piston still works, but the slider pins lock up so the inside pad rubs but the outter does nothing. Just take them apart and make sure everything is still freely moving.

 

can u show me where the slider pins are on the caliper? are they the two bolts? took my rear pass side caliper out and the pistons stickin out and its stuck i cant twist/push it back in. does that mean my caliper is seized? i think my brakes stuck from the caliper locked up the pads.

 

btw, my cars been sitting for 2 months now. and i hear alil noise from the front brakes when the cars moving and i step on the brake it makes the noise. dont think its the pads cus they look new and kinda thick.
