How do you fix a locked up brake?
Take your foot off the brake pedal so your wheels can get enough traction to possibly unlock momentarily. Then reapply pressure to the brake if needed. Repeatedly (and quickly) press the brakes over and over until the brakes either disengage or bring you to a safe stop.
Do rotors turn with the wheel?
Brake rotors, or brake discs, are what the brake pads press on to prevent the wheels from spinning any further. The brake rotors are just as important as the brake pads – they work in tandem to stop your vehicle suddenly. Turning rotors ensures that your brake rotors are working at an optimal level.

Why does my Avalon make so much noise?
My 2000 Avalon has developed a noise that seems to be getting louder. It does not correlate to the AC or to the RPMs. It seems to be related to how fast the car is going, which made me think it may be the tires, but the noise does not seem to change with pavement type, and the tires (second set) are supposed to be especially quiet.
What kind of tire pressure does a Toyota 96 use?
My ’96 wears the outer edges of the front tires unless tire pressure is kept at 35, rather than the lower pressure called for by Toyota. There are no adjustments for caster or camber as the car came from Toyota. These (mostly camber) determine pulling.
How can you tell if your tires are pulling?
These (mostly camber) determine pulling. The only adjustment is toe and that can effect tire wear, but not pulling. Too much or too little and tires wear faster, You can tell by rubbing your hand across the tire tread. If the tread feels sharp in one direction only an adjustment is needed.
