Rear Brake Grab
Hello,
I had posted this problem a few months ago. My rear brakes grab when I first pull out in the morning and only when the temp is above 45 deg. This grab goes away after a few miles of stop and go driving. I had been told that I might have an oil seal leak that is making its way to my beake linnings. Well during that warm spell in January I pulled the drums off. There was no sign of an oil leak anywhere. I just received this quater's issue of the TDR and read the article "EGR severe brakes" on pg 53. I don't do any towing but the proportional valve was mentioned in the article. Rear brakes will lock if to much of the braking load is tranfererd to the rear wheels. I plan to change this valve so if anyone has had this problem, I will repost my results. Thank you TDR for the great articles!
