Need Help with my brakes!!

Aight so i just ordered new brake rotors and pads for the rear on my hatch. Now my parking brake only engages one wheel and not both does anyone know which part could be failing or need replacing.

caliper or brake cylinder might be seized. Sometimes water gets into the e-brake cable and seizes that too.

I thought the caliper was seperate from the ebrake assembly, anyone know of a place that can rebuild calipers etc. or a good cheap brake place or person who can just take a look at it first to tell me what the problem could be? Just trying to narrow it down so i can fix it before my safety

cam, if both your brakes work on the rear, but only one e-brake side works, more than likely the cable on that size is seized. jack the both sides up, get 2 buddies to spin the tires, theb step on the brake, if both wheels stop moving. Your hydraulic brake system is good.
Now do the same thing with your buddies, spin the wheels, then pull the e-brake, the wheel that doesnt stop, or has problems stopping, probably has the bad or seized e-brake cable.

Some food for thought

need good e-brakes for drifiting.. Right Adrian?

I need new e-brake stuff from dirfting too much.

Lol fuck ebrake drifting, after owning a RWD vehicle i could never degrade myself and pull my ebrake lol its a parking brake not a drfiting brake lol, besides we all know in FWD its not drifting its uncontrolled Sliding

Come on, Keiichi Tsuchiya says even he has to use the e brake sometimes, I think he would know as he wrote the book on it (DVD). Anyway, what is the deal with front wheel drive cars talking about going drifting? Maybe one day I will have to learn how to and quite being such a poser, but first I will need to get rid of HiCAS.

drifting, sliding.. whatever. if you want to do it an a FWD it's what you have to do (pull ebrake), was a week or two that I did it non-stop that's why I need work.

i hate how people in front wheel cars call it "drifting" when its not. i drive a FWD car but i dont pull the ebrake because whats the point.. if its not drifting , then why do it.

like go slide on some ice, or really wet pavement but dont call it drifting.


BUT BACK ON TOPIC!

Yes please lol cause i really need it done cause as far as im aware the e brake has to work in both wheels for a safety to pass
