I didn't see a spot to put this so i'll ask here. I've driven this thing a round the last couple days trying to see what i need to do to get it runnin well. When i hit the brakes hard the back left tire locks ups. I also missed an exit yesterday on the highway. The brakes might need some real work or i was just driving to fast. What makes the back left lock up like that. Is there a way I can adjust the pressure or something?

Thanks,
Bret

 

your axle seal could be gone.. i BELEIVE this will cause a tire to luck up.. verrrrrry dangerous in winter. someone correct me if im wrong, but take the rear tires off and check the brakes for oil

 

Could just be a totally toasted brake back there. The easiest way to find out would be to take off the tire and brake drum and have a look.

 

You might have a binding e-brake lever or cable, or even a warped drum. I'd go ahead and just tear into the whole rear braking. Replace the wheel cylinders, shoes, new hardware, and take the drums into somewhere and have 'em measured and turned, or replace 'em.
But also, it could be an issue with the front brakes, a seized caliper etc...causing more braking action to be applied to the rear.

It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg for all new brakes if you do it yourself.
