Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / November 200490 plymouth acclaim -sticky brakes
I recently picked up a 90 ply. acclaim. it had a locked up drivers side caliber when I got it. I replaced that same day. now the passenger side is sticking. when you apply the brake it drags for a long time (does not lock up wheel) before releasing all the way. also the brake and anti-lock light on dash are coming on. any one have any ideas before I start poaring money into it? replace that caliper too!

Wow, anti-lock brakes on a 90??? Rebuilt calipers for regular non-anti lock brakes are very inexpensive. Dunno about yours though, maybe it is worth trying to save the right side. If so, then just make sure all the sludge is cleaned out, especially around the guides and where the caliper slides on the carrier. well, I fixed it. it was a bit more than I thought. it was the caliber sticking....and the master brake cylinder....and a worped rotor. now for the back brakes! wish me luck!!! thanks i got a 89 acclaim and its got sticky brakes and all but now i got a new problem...when i try 2 start it, it just goes click click click..etc...etc what could be wrong?

I have the same problem with the sticky brakes on my 90 acclaim. I checked the rear brakes by spinning the tires and they seemed ok. Removed the front tires, replaced both calipers and pads on the front. When doing the work, I found the passenger side pads almost worn out while the driver side pads were ok. The calipers looked ok so left them alone. After the work was done, it seemed better for a while but now it appears to be sticking again. Any ideas on what else I should check?? the clue was the one side worn out, caliper??? hose? > I have the same problem with the sticky brakes on my 90 acclaim.

Any ideas on what else I should check?? I replace both calipers right from the start. How might the hose be the problem? I replace both calipers right from the start. How might the hose be the problem? Sorry for the confusion. I said the calipers were ok in my initial post. What I meant to say is that the "rotors" looked ok so didn't replace them. I replaced both calipers and pads. the inside of the hose could come apart and act as a one way valve, not letting the pressure release from the caliper and causing it to hang up, not saying this is your problem but i have seen it many times > Sorry for the confusion.

Replace the pistons in the calipers or replace the calipers >I have the same problem with the sticky brakes on my 90 acclaim. I checked > the rear brakes by spinning the tires and they seemed ok.

Any ideas on what else I should check?? did you try replacing the caliper guide pins? |
