powernut 1 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 hi as my front brak discs were badly worped ,i fitted another std set of 288mm,discs calipars ,anyway, if i jack either wheel up(e.g o/s wheel) one wheel of the ground and press the foot brake the wheel stops as it shoud ,but soon as i let the foot off to realse the brake peadle the n/s wheel starts moveing ,like the diff is locking up to power both wheels at the same time?is this normal or is it the abs/causeing this ,as ive not come accross this before ,anyone know y/ Link to post Share on other sites
Cowpatmatt 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 is the engine running??if it is and the wheels are off the ground even in nuetral the wheels will turn on idle. Link to post Share on other sites
powernut 1 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 yes that was with engine runing and in gear ,with only one wheel off the ground ? Link to post Share on other sites
Lizard Racing 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Surely you are stalling the engine if you are braking to stop the single wheel spinning and you are in gear?! None of what you are describing is anything to do with brakes. Link to post Share on other sites

UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Is the car in gear when you do this? Link to post Share on other sites
powernut 1 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 hi yes i tryed to explain best i could in the first post ,basicly i replaced all front discs /pads calipars,and one wheel of the car is jacked off the floor (as i wanted to just remove surface from them) anyway as the engine is runing /car in gear ,with engine idioling,soon as i release the foot brake mms from lifting my foot off both wheels off the car lock up together and move ,its like theres no pinions in the diff,,as both wheels lock up and want to drive but soon as the foot brake is depressed the wheel drive works properly makeing only one wheel move until the peadle is pushed down then engine stails as it should ,ps ,i think its how the abs system works?otherwise gearbox mybe at fault..e.g knackerd Link to post Share on other sites

powernut 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 right cheers ,must be normal then thanks all Link to post Share on other sites
Cowpatmatt 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 by the way it is very dangerous to do that!! could hurt yourself and others not to mention damage you car if it falls off the axle stand, if you are going to do something like that just make sure both drive wheels are well off the ground and car securely on axle stands.

powernut 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 yearh ur right ,lucky it was jacked on a 2ton trolley jack and the other wheel wasnt fully on the ground ,or it would have ran into the wall ,,,then id have scraped it ,and fitted engine into some else....like rest of my homemade ideas ,cheers .
