Am I getting too fanatical or is this a real problem?
On my 914-6, I have 911 brakes up front and original rear brakes. I found the right rear brake dragging (smoking!). After opeining the vent clearance and oiling the emergency brake linkage, I took the car out for a 4 mile ride. Rotor temperatures using a infrared temp probe was Left Front 145 deg. F. Right Front 150 Left Rear 180 Right Rear 225 Question 1: Shouldn't the front rotors be hotter? Should I remove the brake proportioning valve or replace it with a new one to correct this? Question 2: Is the right rear too hot for such a short ride? |

Those numbers do seem a bit strange.
My suggestion is to remove the proportioning valve. This easy fix has worked well for me. |
