So I've had an issue for a while now with my ABS and TCS and I've had the car tech2 scanned and have come to the conclusion that its from a rear wheel hub. I've also had it looked at by my local auto repair place and they believe that it is an actuator ring inside the wheel hub which makes...

I stopped while driving through a dealership today and I went to set my handbrake. I pulled the lever and it had no resistance at all. I released it and pulled it again and suddenly it got really firm and didn’t go up even half way. I released it and after driving a bit I smelled burning and...

I'm having an odd issue with my 05 Linear where around every 3 months or so the rear passenger brake caliper starts to leak where the parking brake cable connects. This all started after the caliper was replaced by a local chain shop. I've since had them replace caliper 3 times and now I've got...

I have a 1998 900 SE hatch. Parking brake cable was replaced, but adjusted all the way in the brake shoes (4838660) still don't grab. I was told the shoe size changed (got bigger) somewhere around 1998-1999, but the EPC part numbers are the same for shoes 1994-2002. Can anyone shed some light?

I couldn't find anything on this so a note about my experience of the job might be useful. In this case the cables themselves were still working OK, but the rear calipers needed to be replaced due to corrosion, and the cables were corroded into the calipers. So I put the angle grinder...

Its time for me to do the rear rotors and finally fix the seized parking brake which has never worked during the time I've had the car. I've done the pads before but never have had the rotors/calipers off, or messed with the parking brake. For the parking brake I'm assuming its an...

Gents, I have a problem with my handbrake. During the bi-annual Swiss test they remarked that the handbrake has more than a 30% difference between the left and right back wheel when the handbrake is engaged. This has to be sorted or I will not be allowed to drive the car... I tried this...

My 2004 Saab 95 Arc failed MA inspection for a parking brake issue. The parking break works when engaged and the car is put in drive. The parking brake does not work when the parking brake in engaged and the car is put in reverse. Any suggestions why this might occur and what the resolution...
