[DML] Re: Can Pep Boys or Goodyear replace DeLorean brakes?

["rgalichon" <rgalichon@xxxxxxx>]

As per the advice of the good folks here, I went to an old-school mechanic.  He services a lot of Volvos, so that kind of knowledge came in handy, I bet.

It turns out, I have a good vacuum on the brake line, so the brake booster should be ok.  The brake hose on the driver's-side front is leaking, though.  So, that explains why the car pulls hard to the right when braking.  I need to order and install a new brake hose for the front left ASAP.  While I'm at it, I'm deliberating changing the rotors and pads.  I'd like to be thorough and change the calipers too, but I can't find calipers anywhere.

As for my suspension issue, my mechanic noticed my passenger's-side front spring was rotated in a different position compared to the driver's side front.  He tried to compress the spring and rotate it to match the other side.  He didn't get it 100% rotated, but close enough... the suspension issue is gone now.  Whew!

I also got the e-brake adjusted.  4 clicks and the wheels don't move.  Sweet.  :)
