Hi
I have noticed that my footbrake is slowly getting worse, i.e., I need to apply more pressure to stop the car. They often feel quite "snatchy" and sometimes unpredictable. I have looked at the pads and they are very low, so I'll be getting this done fairly soon, but a problem has just appeared on the rears for which I would like some advice.
Theres a fair few sets of temporary traffic lights on my daily commute, you know, the long ones with a special convoy. Anyway, I have noticed that after pulling away (after releasing the handbrake) there is a large "clunk" from the nearside drum - its almost as if its sticking. I have also noticed that when on a hill the handbrake feels uneven, i.e., following the application of the handbrake and releasing the footbrake the car doesn't rise squarely at the rear.
Any advice guys? I'm fairly clued up with brake systems in general, and would fit the front pads myself, but dont feel confident in tackling the rears.
TIA Moby.
