Default E-Brake

Well it seems my E-Brake only works on one wheel, the right rear. I looked and saw all the linkages are good underneath the car but didnt take the cover off the drum. Does anybody think that it might be broke inside the drum? And also when i have been driving a while and stopping too,I hit the brakes andthey make a clicking noise. Like as I slow down it goes Click, Click.....Click.............Click then I am stopped. It sounds like it is coming from the rear drums. Do you think it is worth a look? I still stop fine, its just annoying. Any help at all is great.

I would pull the drums off the rear to see what you got for pad life. Sometimes e-brakes don't work since when you try to use them they don't touch the drum since the adjuster frooze. As for click could be anything.

Thanx speedy, i will try that. And BTW my tranny has been doing a little something, it only does it between one to two upshifts. It is random, it doesnt happen all the time. It feels like a heavy vibration when it hits second near the right front tire. It usually happens when i take off let off the gas for a second and get back on the gas just as it goes into second, then it vibrates. No metal shavings are in the pan. I poured some Lucas Trans Fix in it and i think that sort of helped. Do you know what the problem could be?

You pick up front and check for play. Leave the tires on and have both off the ground. Grab each side the tire try to rock it back and forth. Also grab the top and bottom also if it feels loose look where it is. There should be nothing loose it a bad thing if there is. Most auto don't viberate. Since you said it feels like the right front then it on the oppisite side of the trans.

I've parted out the sundance I got. If you want to buy the stock shadow es fin and the tbi intake filter setup. The intake setup uses the stock filter.

Ihave alreadytriedrocking the wheel to see if the wheel bearing is going out of it, but it isnt.Everything is sturdy and great.The fin would be nice. How much are you asking for it? And could you post a picture of it for me?Cause i want to see what kind of condition it is in and what color it is. Thanx

The spoiler would have to be striped down and repaint. I had got off an car from the Jyard and rattle can it to red of my car. My hatch on my car was made for a spoiler but the hole aren't hard to mark and drilled to fit easily. Also the wheel in the pic are for sale too.


Also I live in wisconsin too.

BTW B4 I took off the drum, i spun the wheel while it was in the air, it felt like it was hanging up in a spot. I took off the drum and what did I see? Themetal on thepads(still got good pad left)were bubbled from heat. THE E-BRAKE WAS FROZE ON!! God that sucked. The spring just wouldnt move, it was stuck compressed. But then with some WD-40 and apry bar, i pulled the spring back. I just wont use the e-brake again, cause if i do it will freeze again. Well and it fixed the click too.
