Dispatch van- uneven rear brakes, am i missing something???

Unread post by steve67 »

Hi, :D
HELP AND ADVISE PLEASE.
my van has failed its mot on uneven rear brake application.(o/s/r low)

i have free up the load sensor linkage and renewed the wheel cylinder to the o/s/r. i have been back for a retest and the reading is still the same, low on the o/s/r, i was told the difference allowed is 24% mine is reading 60%.
can i asume from this that the load valve is knackered?
or am i missing something else?

cheers
steve

Hi Steve.

I assume that the difference is side to side!

I would doubt it being the load sensing valve as this sends pressure to both wheels the same.

I would strip out the brakes on both sides and give it all a good clean up, then put it back together making sure that all is moving freely, adjust up the handbrake evenly on both sides and that "should" do the trick.

Regards
Slim.
