Is there a problem with my Silverado brakes?
Im having a problem with my brakes on my 2008 Chevy Silverado 4×4. I repaced my pads, shoes, drums (one was below specs so I replaced both) and rotors (aftermarket under warranty. Easier to replace for “free”than to have them turned).
How to adjust the rear brake’s in a truck?
The best way to adjust the rear brake’s is to put the truck in neutral have only one rear drum on at time and adjust the rear shoes up till you hear a light scraping sound from the shoes rubbing on the drums. Then take the drum off and do the other side. If the pedal still is low and the pedal does fell right then bleed it.
What does it mean when your front brake is not working?
Brake Pull: Uneven braking means that you have one front brake on your Chevy that is not operating properly. Your brakes pull to the good side. This can be due to oil, grease or fluid on a pad, a caliper that is stuck, brake line blockage, or wheel bearings that are loose.
How do you know if your Chevy has a brake problem?
You will find the booster between the master cylinder and the firewall in your engine compartment. A check valve that is faulty can also let vacuum bleed out. You can diagnose this by starting your Chevy in order to build vacuum, and then turning it off for four or five minutes. Then you should try the brakes.
