In a message dated 00-03-19 01:23:23 EST, you write: > I also found that the wheel cylinders that I had replaced to the tune > of about $300 back in June of last year were leaking. Is it possible the extra travel of the wheel cylinder pistons as a result of the excessive wear to the drums caused the wheel cylinders to fail in June and then again prematurely fail? Also I apprecaite this discussion because my brakes are acting a bit odd in the same way--even after bleeding and all. The front rotors are new(ish) from the DPO. But I'll check the drums. So thanks. The list works. Pass it on. Jeff 83.5 Westy NYC |
