I have a civic and it is creating a hell lot of problem these days as the front wheels get jammed after a drive of 4 -5km.I just consulted my mechanic and he advised me to change the brake calliper kit and thts wht i did but the problem still persist.I would be really greatful if anyone cld give me any ideas. Thanx
the way to figure out the problem is to take of the tyre when the wheel is jammed. are the brakes engaged or not?
Yeah the brakes get engaged
seems to me that you have either got a problem with your master cylinder or the caliper.
Faulty brake lines would cause the exact opposite to happen.
@naushad,
Samething happened to my FX 3 years ago. My mechanic fixed the problem by completely overhauling the master cyclinder and servicing the brake lines and replacing all the shoes and discs.
