Hi Folks,
I ran this by blu73 (moderator), in case it was inappropriate.
With my own car recently, the brakes seemed fine, but there was an imbalance of 48 percent between the two rear wheels.
Blah, blah, check this and that, but no good, so retest required.
With my background in engineering, it seemed apparent that mechanics have no scientific way to check the balance of the brakes, apart from physically replacing every element of the system.
Since then, I've made a method to at least test my own, and any other small car with four stud for holding on the wheel. (built in allowance for various P.c.d.'s{pitch circle diameter}).
If I could, (maybe I can or can't), replicate this system at an affordable price, would anyone buy it?
One local genius uses his concrete yard to test brakes - he uses an observer (wife), to see if each wheel lock and skids - with black evidence on his white concrete. Apart from that, he has nothing handy, by way of a test.
So the question again is;
If I could, (maybe I can or can't), replicate this system at an affordable price (to a mechanic), would anyone buy it?
What would be an affordable/cost effective price?
Thanks
