well on my 240 i have a bad inner on my rack(driver side) when i drive and brake it will pull to the left.. problly from it being bad and a needing of alignment.. but my question is.. could it cause my left brake to lock up??

i have 180sx brake upgrade with cr titian kai pads..im going to re grease the pins on the brakes.. but it did this with my old stock brakes aswell..
anyone??

might need a proper brake fluid flush...

no, only a bad bearing or other brake issues can do that. it could however get worn enough to come out of it's socket, though. it will pull if its really worn causing the toe to be quite off

well i did notice that the passenger side was more free then the driver side but.. it doesnt seem to bad.. ill look into that. the brake fluid flush i just did it, did a damn god job on it too being that i took that into concid.
i think ill be checking the pins and grease it.anything ealse maybe you guys could think of that i should check? it locks up way faster then the right.

I would say check to make sure the caliper is not hanging up. Maybe check your brake pads to look for hints of un-even wear which may be causing lock up. If everything is good maybe master?

check the pressure and see how much pressure your caliper is pushing on each side. If you don't have the tool then go to a shop have them check it

Well i had this problem with my old brakes. I put new pads and the calipers ar. Fine my. Dad checked them before i put them on. Ill check the pads Sunday and see what's up. Keep the thoughts coming Thanks guys

not sure if you solved your problem yet but I had very similar problem comes out that the tension rod bracket was busted allowing the assembly to move so I put on a nismo power brace and new tension rods and problem solved so check for that too.

Fix your busted suspension components and rebuild your 20+ year old calipers then get back to us if you still have a problem. You'd have to be a psychic to tell what was wrong with your self-admittedly busted setup.

Way to bump an old thread. I noticed that I have no front passenger sway bushing plus I need to get front tires. I need a sticker tire. My front calipers were sticking replaced them defiantly better. Still locking let you know how it goes.
