I know on some of my friends cars you can yank the e- brake and lock up the back tires and all and the brake seems very strong but my e brake wont even hold the car on a small incline and never has worked too well.
I was just wondering the first things you guys would check out? i figured the wire was pinched somewhere and the wire was just stretched out but i still wanted your opinions BTW: its a 94 ST and ive adjusted it so it starts to pull at about 7 or 8 "clicks" but its still real weak and u know just somthing isnt right about it Thanks in advance -B This post has been edited by CelicaB: Mar 29, 2006 - 1:38 PM |

Where did you adjust it at? the rear wheels? I would tighten it up back there. If you take your drum off the back there will be a little wheel-looking thing with many-a-teeth. click that over a few times. If I remember correctly, that is your e-brake tensioner.
