Sticky brakes?

[dansomerville]

Car - 83 JDM Trueno Notch.

Motor - Bigport 4AGE

Use - Project/Weekend toy.

Problem - Stuck/Noisy rear brakes.

Occurs/Started When - All the time/Since I bought it.

Personal Situation (if applicable) - I'm rather short.


Hey guys and girls, I have a 83 JDM Trueno. I feel like my brakes are sticking or something.

Under normal driving the rears sound like there grinding, like a constant whirring noise from the rear of the car? or the rear brakes, I'm not sure, and sometimes when I reverse after having the handbrake on the car is hard to move and makes a loud grinding squeal until you move forward again. Noise is always there.

The car has Project Mu pads in it from the previous owner, the noise is in the rear, could it the pads be just really worn out? (I haven't had time to check yet, although it still stops pretty quick) or another problem?

Stuffed/seized caliper pistons?
Worn pads?
Handbrake issue?

I dunno.

I've ordered a whole new pad and rotor setup for my car, but unsure if this will sort it out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Dan.
