Re: Rear Drivers Side Brake, help PLEASE

mostlikely has nothing to do with engine temp. Is the car rear drum or disc?

usually this is caused by a failing flex line are the caliper

Re: Rear Drivers Side Brake, help PLEASE

I bought the car yesterday, no problem with the brakes bringing it home, I had the oil changed becuz I didn't have time to do it. On the way to the place still no problem, home again, brake locked.

I am fairly sure it is a disc, but am not positive if that wat is on an 89 Camaro RS.

What do you think it would cost to fix the line if that is the issue

Thank you for replying

I'm guessing the oil change place pulled the parking brake and either the cable or caliper is seizing. <$100 to fix yourself, probably ~$200 to have someone else do it. I would think it's drum on an RS, but maybe not.
