K, it sounds kinda stupid but i dont think my e brake is working. I pull it up completley going around like 15 mph and the car still rolls on and going about 40 nothing happens. I pulled it in the snow tryin to spin around and nothing happened and it kinda worried me.

 

I'd be worried. If your car is a automatic, it should be able to handle 1st gear with a bit of gas without rolling. If it's a manual, it needs to be able to hold the car on a hill. Sounds like your rears might be shot. You should look at your brakes, and if need be, tighten the cable. When tightening it, it should have 40LBS of pressure on the 7th click.

 

i think we have a seoul drifter here... who pul the ebrake going 15? i would rather not have flat spots.

 

^^^ He was talking about SNOW Drifting.... Not on dry pavement.

 

Damn, My brakes are retarded too. They feel like they are grinding and make the loudest noise...just the back...ha, when i was going 15 thats the second time i tried it cause i was just trying it out at different speeds to see what the problem was..yeah it was in the snow...its an auto.

 

Probably the rear (im gonna guess drivers side, cuz this has happened to me on the drivers side on TWO tibs now) caliper guide bolts (maybe both, maybe just one) are seized. You can take the caliper off and check them, if you can get them out, grease them really well with some white caliper grease, it is likely you will not be able to even get them out though. In this case, replace the caliper with one from a junkyard or something. Just don't go to a shop or the dealer for the part, it will be way expensive.

 

the cables themselves are also known for corroding, siezing, and eventually snapping too.

 

Thanks guys, my e brakes fine. and that loud grinding noise only happens sometimes so im gonna look into what you said zoned.
