Howdy y’all, I was coming down a steep, windy road in Malibu last night, and st the bottom I felt that my brakes had lost done if their grabbing power. At the stop sign at the bottom oF the hill I got out to have a look and my brakes were smoking + very strong smell. Like a truck cooking it’s brakes. My pads look good, lots of material left . Anyone ever experience this before in a vanagon? Do you think I’ve done any damage? Or is it normal for mountain highway downhill? Best , Vinnie |
