Where is the Problem When Drum Brake Rear Wheels Overheat?
1 Answers
Prolonged braking or brake calipers not retracting properly causing friction with the brake discs, leading to overheating. Below are precautions for smoking rear wheels: Inspection of wheel hub bearings: Safely lift the vehicle using tools like jack stands or wheel chocks. Maintenance of wheel hub bearings: Before removing the wheel hub, prepare for maintenance by securely parking and lifting the axle to ensure safety during the operation. Brake system inspection: While inspecting wheel hub bearings, also check the wheel braking system. If there are oil stains on the inner side of the tire, it may be caused by leakage from the brake wheel cylinder or brake fluid lines. Identify the cause promptly and address it.
