What Causes the Rear Wheels of a Car to Not Move?
1 Answers
The reasons for the rear wheels of a car locking up and not moving are water ingress into the brake drum and hard emergency braking. Below are the specific details: Water ingress into the brake drum: If the vehicle has been parked for too long, moisture has not been promptly removed after driving in the rain, or the brake drum was not treated after getting wet during car washing, the brake drum may rust, causing the gap between the brake drum and the brake shoes to disappear, leading to wheel lock-up. In cases where the brake shoes rust and cause the rear wheels to lock up, the owner should visit a repair shop to replace the brake shoes, which will resolve the issue of the rear wheels locking up. Hard emergency braking: During emergency braking, if the brake pedal is pressed too hard, the brake shoes may lock the wheels, meaning the brake locks the tires, and if the rear axle locks up, it may result in rear-wheel skidding.
