lul, that one was fixed already

rear drum brake?
this thing is hard to spoil or broken..

Light scratch can be repaired by polishing the car. But mine grazed the curb during parking.. so had to send to the workshop for a touch-up

fuh fuh...lucky hehe

hahaha.....when it comes to the braking system for car i don't know anything,the only thing i know is disc brake got better braking capability compared to drum brake.....next week i will bring my to sc to check it out

maybe brake pad?because got bau hangus

Most cars' brakes are biased to the front. I think 80/20, or 70/30. Having a disc brake behind wont help much actually.

sad...no body answer my questions...T.T

remember come back report.
haha.
and another braking -ENGINE BRAKING!

Thanks..it really help...^^

so should i pump full tank for first time?

Yr choice...yr decision...nothing bad is gonna happen, full tank or otherwise! Car needs petrol to move, that's all!

geng geng sekalian... tumpang tanya... last few days when i went back to kanowit (celebrate gawai at wife's kampung)... my absorber kong, so i keep on using it until back to kuching... in the earlier stage of faulty absorber, only "dug dug dug" sound came out when i hit potholes or bumpy roads... later after a long usage of faulty absorber, got metal hitting sound came out... yesterday i alrdy change my absorber, no more "dug dug dug" sound... only metal hitting sound left... i wanna know what's the problem and how much moolah to fix it...

my guess is bushing kong due to long use of faulty absorber but dunno which 1 (i guess there got 3 bushing for suspension & handling part)... the most expensive is lower arm bushing n i hope it's not that part which was broken..

thx for helping...

mine also hav metal hitting sound especially when pick up, thinking bushing mounting problem too.
but mine is myvi

Added on June 4, 2011, 1:13 pmif bau hangus, maybe your rear brake pump spoilt already, once you release the brake, it wont return to normal state which your brake shoe (brake lining) keep on touching the drum hence hangus smell....

Added on June 4, 2011, 1:29 pmah.... a piece of advice for rear drum brake user

Don't pull your handbrake too hard. it will jam up.

i think this apply to a poorly design brake.. it happen to nazaria also.

it depends on the SA, some will give, some wont. mine didnt. just had rm5 filled inside. and the worst part was, in order to park at the showroom, you have to pass through a shell & petronas petrol station -.-

it is hard to break but drum brake itself have many issue
it has too many component inside...and hard to fix
disc brake is easier to fix and identify
