Chieftain Bandit, Brake Problems cant figure out what is wrong

[Dandy]

I ordered the car and i said break problems and i have found 2 out of the 3 things, but there is one thing i cant find. There is no ABS in the car all the tires are cleared with nothing wrong with them anymore, i even went through the gearbox just in case. the whole car is rusted up so its hard to tell the difference between the stuff in need to do and the stuff that is just really rusty.

Brakes are cake...

Front: Remove the tire. Remove the Caliper, Pads and Rotors. Bad parts will show up on the list.

Rear: Remove above, or for Drums remove the Drums, Shoes and Wheel Cylinders.

Under the hood there's the Master Cylinder/Brake Booster and the 2 ABS modules. Remove any that apply to your car. (in this case just the Booster Assy)

To check parts, use the "look at this part" mode. It's what it's for. You can also do a Road Test and use the Path Tester, both of which will tell you much about the Brakes. You can use the Scan Tool on newer cars, it will flag ABS parts.

99 times out 100, just removing the parts is enough. A Road Test and Path Test for that one vehicle that just doesn't register in the noggin correctly.

Cheers..!
