back brake problems
« on: February 12, 2009, 08:17:06 »
 
hi all, eventually got round to doing my lift +50 mm but it now seems as all of my braking is on the front axle ? is there one of them load sensing jobbies on a 300 tdi disco 1, you know the thing that adjusts the rear brakes for differing loads ???

You may want to check the flexy brake pipe to the rear axle.  It runs from the underside of the rear floor to the top of the diff on the rear axle, make sure it isn't bent double and not allowing fluid through to the rear brakes.
It's advisable to change this one & the front flexys for extended ones when you add a lift kit, just to be on the safe side.  ;)
