    Exclamation problems with brakes

    recently ive been having problems with my brakes. when i go out somewhere my brakes lock or something. im not sure if its the front or the back, but im pretty sure its the front ones cause when this happens the brake pedal gets real hard. this isnt really good for my engine because i can hear trying so hard to keep going when this happens, my radiator just started leaking today when it happened again. so if any one knows what the problem is just let me know.

    thanx

    Pop the calipers off and see if the sliders are working properly. More often than not brakes locking up means a stuck caliper.

    if its the brake actually getting stuck, it could be the rubber lines. they'll cause a sort of suction if they are deteriorating inside. mine did. changed em out and my brakes are great, i also replaced the calipers finally.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™
