88 Accord BrakesXaisk 11-09-2009, 01:52 PM Hate to double post but. while im thinking about it and logged in, my Accord, when breaking, will hook to the left. and Naturally it just drags to the left. We have a civic that does the same thing but to the right I believe. What could be the case for this? Also the brakes are pathetically weak. To get it to stop, I push the brake pedal all the way back as if im slamming on brakes. It just slides back with no force until it gets towards the far back. Sometimes occasionally it will have force halfway towards the back, but it will drop and wont have force till the pedal hits the back. Is there any way to test the proportioning valve? Or could it even be a master cylinder problem? Airjer_ 11-09-2009, 02:22 PM Rear drum brakes? If so may be worth taking a peak at them to start. jeffcoslacker 11-09-2009, 10:44 PM Yeah if it has rear drums they need to be inspected, adjusted and cleaned...if it still does it suspect a frozen front caliper, caliper slide surface that is seized, or a front brake hose that is internally damaged. But the low pedal sounds like wildly out of adjustment rear drums or a master cylinder problem...but USUALLY the typical M.O. for a failing MC is a pedal that slowly drops as you sit stopped at a light, or needs to be stroked a couple of times to have full pedal... Xaisk 11-10-2009, 12:57 AM Hm out of adjustment rear brakes seems more probable. I replaced ALL the brakes. front and back. Dad helped me out and the back brakes prolly didnt get put on and adjusted correctly. Ill take a look sometime. Got TS Ida hitting today so its been a wreck out somick 11-11-2009, 10:40 PM I believe you can adjust rear brakes by backing up and hitting the brakes few times. Try this first. Pulling to one side is definitely either seized caliper piston or rusted/seized slide pins. Good luck, Sam vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
