RobDogg Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Got to work this morning and there was a bucket load of smoke coming from the rear drivers side wheel with a really nasty horrible smell. I presume the caliper has seized. Does anyone know how much a new one is? It is a standard Jap one. Anyone got any for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 could be the sliding bolt thats gone I think you can get a replacement bolt and just replace that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDogg Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think it may of been may handbrake was not fully off. I just had had it tightened and maybe its too tight now.. I have just driven it home and kept stopping to check it and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If they were smoking they must have been bloody hot, I would check for any warping of the discs as well while your there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
