is that how trailer queens are born? i sure hope not. i just lost the brakes while on a hilly part of the trail. that's all. LOL fucking panhard rod mounting bolt/plate thing was rubbing eating thru the damn brake hose. if any of you have aftermarket brakehoses, check to see that it's not touching anything. ---------- Ho Chung | ||

I put a short length of rubber hose, secured with safety wire, over my Paragon Performance lines where I thought they would rub. That was a few years ago, and I haven't had to touch them yet. I needed it on the left front where Ho was talking about, and on both rear lines. Matt | ||

My front left apparently had been gently rubbing on my tire without my noticing until I stuck on the trXus M/Ts. It was very obvious it was rubbing on the way home and I quickly thought I solved the problem. However, ended up losing that brake line anyhow I'm guessing since it had been weakened from the rubbing on the short drive home over a month before, that was the only thing I could imagine happened. Anyhow, do as Ho says.. check your lines to make sure they aren't rubbing anything, especially at full lock right or left. I now carry spares as well as extra fluid.. it sucked driving home without brakes (3 miles from the gas station late at night at 10mph) | ||

When you lose the brakes like that does the e-brake stop working also? Or are they seperate systems? | ||
| Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 403 Registered: 11-2002 |
The e-brake works, well in my experence of the dealer cutting my lines, the brake pedal went to the floor and i only had the e-brake. | ||

The e-brake is a cable actuated drum brake around the rear drive shaft. Thus, if you bust a brake line, you are still good with the e-brake. Will |
