IML: Brakes on a 63
Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 18:05:44 -0600
Greetings fellow imperialists
Would anyone care to make an educated guess as
to what would cause brakes to become super sensitive to pedal pressure?. It
doesn't act like the shoes are contaminated with fluid.
By that I mean that the wheels never actually
lock up. Its just that the brakes are so sensitive you are almost afraid to
step on the pedal.
This problem is on a 63 Imperial that is
for sale and that I took for a test drive .
The seller of the car said that the brakes have been that way for quite a while
.
He said his mechanic told him he couldn't
find anything wrong with either the shoes or wheel
cylinders.
If I don't buy the car I would at least like to
give the owner an idea as to what
is wrong.
Very un -imperial braking to say the
least
Thanks in advance
