Brake issues
Under hard braking my right rear brake locks up. I just replaced my rubber brake lines with steel braided lines but it was doing it before too. Any ideas? Thanks

That's a tough one! A couple of thoughts, is it possible the left rear needs bleeding? Maybe a caliper or piston problem in the left one too (are you braking hard enough that the left rear should be locking up too, or is the right one prematurely locking up before the left?).

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the brake pads, they are the original ones that were on it when I bought the car a bit over two years ago so perhaps the pads on the left are contaminated and are just not grabbing like they should.
Thanks again for the reply
