Rear brakes

[Frank]

What type of brakes are on the back of my Bravo?

 

[Kate]

Drum Brakes unless it has disk brakes...

Do they look like the front brakes or not?

 

[Sven]

Engine size ?????
Only HGT has discs all around, all other drums, if there wasn't any modding involved

I'm not sure I have not looked yet.
Will I have PADS on the back or something else?

 

[Sven]

Drum shoes is what they are called if you have drums

Thanks.
I'm getting a grinding noise from the back when I brake.
And the brake warning light has come on also.
Do I need to replace the front pads and rear Drum shoes?

 

[Frank]

I have a Fiat 1.4.i SX 1998

 

[Sven]

Just to be sure, tell me what light is on ?

But by the sound, you will have to replace both the fornt and the back

Brake warning light probably means that the brake shoes are shafted. Get them changed ASAP if I were you.

warning light is number 9 on your chart.

 

[Frank]

No sorry it's number 10 on the chart.
Brade pad light

in that case get the rear shoes replaced (may need the drum aswell if you have a grinding noise as the friction material will have worn off and it will be metal on metal scoring the drum)

alos get the front breaks checked aswell
