Alright well here it goes:

I just replaced everything brake related in the car, just about. Pads, calipers, and rotors. When all 4 tires are off of the ground only the left side spins. The front right doesnt spin at all and the back right spins but seems sorta stuck. The car drives fine at first but then pressure builds up in the brake system and eventually it just locks up. I thought it might have been a sticking caliper, now Im just not sure.

Things that I am thinking are brake master cylinder or perhaps the rear transfer case or something...

The car has a welded center diff if that effects anything.

Please posts any thoughts you have or if you need more information.

Thanks and I guess this is my welcome back to the DSM world.

 

thats what you get when you put ross in charge of fixing your car j/k

 

Who said that?


Anyway Im going to be replacing the proportioning valve as soon as it comes in, hope that might help...

 

Anyone have any other ideas?

 

Are you sure it's the brakes causing the binding?

 

Im imagining, becase when I drive the brake pedal gets harder and harder and eventually locks. Once its locked I get underneath the car and realease a bleed valve the wheel unlocks and Im able to get it back home.

 

IDK too much about DSM brakes but on my WRX there is a check valve that keeps boost out of the brake booster, maybe there is something like that on DSM's Try driving the car 100% out of boost and see if it still happens, its worth a shot.

 

Could anyone else elaborate on this?

If the prportioning valve doesnt fix it, Im thinking along the lines of transfer case or something but its still weird because I thought the transfer case was front to back and not side to side, well see...

 

Its not the transfer case.
It could definitely be the master.

 

Ill pick up a master cylinder then on friday if the proportioning valve hasnt arrived. It sucks that when I buy I car I dont get to drive it for like 2 weeks.
