On the back of sports you get that bia valve, well iv completely slackened mine off due to being lowered and it must be seized as the back end is still a little adventurous at time.

But recently if at any time iv had to brake quite firmly, the passenger rear wheel just locks up. Rest of the brakes are fine but just that one.

Whats causing it to do this?

Thanks

over adjustment on the adjuster inside the drum?
have you changed one of the wheel cylinders and its got a larger piston?


imagine it like this:

both rear wheel cylinders same size, gap on o/s/r between drum and shoe 0.5mm, gap on n/s/r between drum and shoe 1mm

that wud make one brake lock before the other

if you have changed one of the wheel cylinders and the piston is larger on the new one, this would give a bigger brake effort on said side.

Haven't touched any of the brakes since i bought the car. All i have done is slackened the rear bias valve right off to prevent it but its done no difference.
