I have a 2001 Chevy Cavalier and my problem is with the brakes sometimes when you step on the brakes the rear wheels feel like they lock up it bumps and bucks you. we have had it to different mechanics and no one seems to know what the problem is. the brakes are good the drums are good what could this possibly be.
Year: 2001Make: ChevroletModel: CavalierEngine: 4 cylinder Already Tried: the brakes are good and the drums were cut.
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Customer Concern:</td><td>Right rear brake locks up. Someone had put on rear brake shoes and new drums trying to correct the problem. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Tests/Procedures:</td><td>1. Check both right and left wheel cylinder operation. <br /><br />2. Check shoe to drum fit. Arc shoes as needed. If all OK try different shoes since some lining materials may have too much drag coefficient causing them to be grabby. <br /><br />3 Verify the backing plates are 90 degrees to the drum so the shoes are not cocked. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Potential Causes:</td><td>Brake Shoe Backing Plates<br />Brake Shoes<br />Wheel Cylinder<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> ALSO BE SHURE THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT PARTIALLY APPLIED OR STUCK BECAUSE OF A BAD CABLESEAN40080.7031256597
