BMW Repair: Parking brakes, upward slant, parking brakes
QuestionHi, my 323i (2000) parkign brakes do not work properly. On a upward slant, after applying parking brakes, the car still skids downward. I have got it tightened but still to not good effect and infact it has started to give a noise around the rear wheels, while in motion. Whats the problem? and What should be done? Thanks.
AnswerCan't tell from your description if the problem is in the brake handle/cable adjustment, or binding in the wheels.
If you have adjusted the cable to where it is correctly setting the parking brake shoes, there may be some noise for a bit of time since they were mis-adjusted prior to this.
