TA front right brake locking up? I have a 79 TA. I wasnt sure where to post this question, I didnt see a Pre 97 brake forum. I believe my front left is locking up. It sucks. I was trying to go from a stop and the whole car shook very very violently (so hard that it knocked my exterior tac out of its bracket). I was thinking what the hell at first. Well I was stopped in the middle of the intersection with cars zooming past me, the light turned yellow, and I was only a mile from home, so I dumped it at 4k and it spun like crazy but didnt shake. As I was gaining speed I felt a serious pull to the left. Luckily no cops were around because there were about 5 stop signs I didnt go under 20 all the way home (no cars were around). As I finally got home, I killed it and jumped out to look around the car. Sure enough the front left was smoking up pretty good and stunk baddd! So do yall think this is just a caliper swap or a hose collapse? Should I just do both at once? Its my second car, but I wont drive it until Im 100% it will not do that again lol. All ears. Thanks and sorry again if I misplaced the post.
