Today nothing special happened when I drove my Syclone to lunch.
When I was leaving my parking space at work to go home for the evening,
it sort of felt as if I had backed into a curb, even though I was still
a good six feet away. As I pulled forward, the brakes were very
twitchy, and the right rear wheel screeched the tire at the slightest
application of brake pedal, even when I drove just a few feet. I
believe what I felt was some extra brake resistance.<br>
<br>
I hadn't set the parking brake today, but for good measure, I applied
and released it a few times. It didn't make a difference. I
tested the brakes a few more times in the parking lot, and the wheel
locked up every time.<br>
<br>
Finally I decided to try it at speed. I pulled out of the lot and
got going around 30 mph and lightly tested the brakes. They
seemed to have returned to normal. I drove the rest of the way
home without further incident.<br>
<br>
I suppose it couldn't hurt to inspect and bleed the brakes and purge the old fluid this weekend. Any other suggestions?<br>
