My car failed it's MOT on 2 points.
%26quot;Rear brake discs excessively pitted%26quot;
%26quot;parking brake efficiency below requirements%26quot;
Obviously I'm going to need new discs but if I change them will it also improve the handbrake as it only just failed on that part. Or failing that would a combination of new discs and adjusting the cable improve brakes? Don't really want to have to buy new shoes.
Car is a Saxo VTR by the way.Will changing rear discs improve handbrake?handbrake in most cars depends on a separately shoes lied behind the discs and there is no relation between them, so check if your car handbrake has the shoes and if so all you want is only an adjustment to these shoes.Will changing rear discs improve handbrake?hi there when you remove your discs check the depth of your brake pads against recommended depth in haines manual then act accordingly. if these are fine new discs and quick cable adjustment should be enough.
bonny sWill changing rear discs improve handbrake?Installing new brakes on the rear will definitely help
the handbrake if the cable is in good shape.
With rear disc brakes you don't have shoes. You have
disc pads, and those are much less expensive than
the shoes used on drum brakes.
