I bought a 93 MTX in October. All new back brakes - rotors, calipers,
caliper brackets, pads, etc. I knew it needed pads when I bought it, found
the drivers rear caliper boot busted, leaking brake fluid, this lead me to
just replace all the back brakes for peace of mind.
Know, approximately 4,000 miles later, the drivers rear is leaking again. I
have not looked, but seems like the same issue. The brake light is on(which
leads me to another questions later). It seems at times that this brake does
not disengage, or that it is always braking, as I get some squeaking from it
occasionally.
Anyway, does anyone know what would cause this issue? Can it be getting too
much pressure? If so, why would the fronts not be doing the same? Could the
emergency brake cable be causing this? I know that the brake light comes on
if the emergency brake is on, is this the only thing that will set the
light? Will low brake fluid set the light?
Any help is appreciated....
