Reply to "Rear brakes"

Icole, putting around or not, there are a couple of axioms in self preservation that hold true in racing and street driving. Make sure accelerator linkage and brakes are in good working order. I’m sure the accelerator advice is obvious to you but it’s not just about having brakes when you want them; it’s also about not having brakes when you don’t won’t them and also brakes that don’t apply stopping to just one corner.

If it let's go at the wrong time, you may find yourself in the opposite lane staring at an oncoming car.

If you have a brake bracket that can allow the caliper to rotate and hit the rotor, it is unsafe; plain and simple. Front/back, doesn’t matter. -Fix it.

Might be helpful if you posted a picture of the caliper bracket.

Best,
