front brakes
« on: 05 October 2008, 18:45:12 »

hi again , i have noticed not all the time when i brake sharp or in the rain i feel that the front drivers wheel is locking up . i have checked the pistons and there working fine .
  i have been told that there is a valve somewhere which distributes even pressure to all 4 bakes . is there a way of testing this first .

Also check tyre condition and pressure, could swop front wheels around and if fault moves to the other side
