Brakes Question

Hello, I have another question when I apply pressure hard for quick stops to my brakes, (1979 F150 4+4) the rear brakes grab and it makes the rear tires slide, It kind of feels like the front brakes are not working...............Thanks

Brakes Question

wolfman , just a thought........I believe you will get more accurate responses ....if....you would be alittle more specific , i.e. , did you just replace your master cylinder , did you bench bleed your m.cylinder before the install , did you r&r your rear shoes and replace all the hardware , in other words , you need to elaborate further about what you have and have not done on your brakes so the people who evaluate your problem can eliminate the most obvious causes of that problem!!!!!!!fd

Brakes Question

Hey Thanks, for reply...Well I had put new brakes on the rear.... and the front ones have been checked and are good, I had my neighbor bleed the lines....So I took it out on the blacktop highway....but it seems when I try to brake for a sudden stop, the back tires grab and slide....it dont really feel like the front brakes are working very good....

Brakes Question

I have seen this where the master cylinder lines are reversed. The large master cylinder chamber brake line should be hooked to the front brakes.
