Brake Problems

[jrich068]

Hi everyone, i'm new here so here we go.

I have a 87 300zx and i'm having brake problems.I just replaced the pads and one of the rotors. But when i start driving the brakes start locking up. i was driving it to get inspected when i realized that i couldn't accelerate while i was driving, the next thing i noticed was smoke in my rearview mirrior. I pull the car over and smoke is pouring from my front fenders. The wheels were also extremely hot, i couldn't hold my hand to it. The car wouldn't roll so i had to leave it there for a few hours and when i came back the brakes had cooled down to where i could roll her and get her home. any suggestions?

Sounds like they are seized up. Do you have the downtime to rebuild the calipers, or is this a daily driver?

front or rear? I'd just plan on replacing the calipers

Could be the brake booster...
