Ok.. I have a 84 Z28, with 4 disk brakes. I was driving the other day and my car kept going on the left when I was braking, and I stopped and realise that my front (right) disk brake keeps sticking, since it was smoking hot. I just changed the caliper and brake pads, bleeded it and it still sticks, when the car is started it won't even turn. Does 84 Z28 have ABS brakes? (But why would it only stick on one side?) I didn't change the hose.. Could that be the problem?

 

Likely your brake hose to that wheel is collapsed.

 

Thx.. I'll change it tommorow and see..
Nice IROC by the way!
Here's a pic of my car, it still needs some work.

 

What rims are those you have on your car? Also what size are your tire and the name brand of them. Car looks sweet like it sits.

 

Thanks for your help I did realise that it is the brake hose but I haven't changed it yet, I'm going to change the 2 in the front, Is the process just to take the old ones off, put the new ones, bleed the brakes and that's it?

IROCU2: My rims are just American Racing Torq-Trust.. 16 inchs and I think that there either 9.5 or 10 inches wide. The tires are Aurora 245/55

 

same thing happened in my dad's 65 mustang that he swapped to disc brakes

went through two sets of calipers, three master cylinders, bled them all up and down the place, and just about every thing else

turned out the brand new proportioning valve was bad. replaced that, no more sticking.

 

im having trouble with the same thing at the mo. i put on some braided brake hoses at the front, then replaced the calipers as i noticed the front right pads had worn down to nothing. but i checked them the other day and the same thing has happened. the brakes just arnt releasing. could i have twisted the lines when i installed them?

 

May wanna check your propotioning valve.

 

so what happened??

 

had the same issues. On both sides when I bought mine. It was a chore getting it home lol. The rubber hoses are my bet. I checked/replaced every thing until I asked and some helpful guys told me to replace the hoses. It worked like a charm.

 

You can also check that the sliding pins are sliding freely.
