Rear Brakes Rubbing? - PugRory - 09-12-2014
I have a disc rear beam, changed the rear pads and discs March this year and they were absolutely fine.
In my MOT the Handbrake isn't the best (as you all know on 306's!) but the cables stretched a lot! has to be 16% effective to pass, mine got 16%.. Haha!
When I set off in the car with the handbrake off it feels like the car bogs right down at the back as if the handbrake is on and you're rocking the car on the biting point?! any ideas on why this is? possibly because the handbrake cables stretched a lot and the rear pads are stuck on?
cheers in advance

sticky calliper piston? how much travel is on the handbrake? maybe over adjusted it? . .

More than likely seized/sticky caliper sliders. They seize up so quickly on 306s, I don't do much heavy braking which means the rears aren't used often so mine would tend to start sticking roughly every 3 months!

The handbrake is pretty ineffective! there's about 13-14 clicks on the ratchet before anything happens haha!

So just a strip down and clean maybe? that'd do the job!
