Didn't Know My Little 318 Could Do This

Actually it has stock worn out brakes. When I slam on the brakes the rear passenger side skids and none of the others do. The only one I notice working is the passenger side rear and both fronts. So I stepped on the brakes and floored it and this happened. Anybody know why my engine drops down to about 500rpm and struggles to stay running after I let go of the gas?



This sounds more like a leaky right rear wheel cylinder. When the shoes are wet with break fluid they will grab you right by the balls..

Thanks. Do these brakes have that wheel that you can adjust. I want to adjust it so the one that doesnt grip grabs better if its not leaking.

You need to get the car on a set of jack stands and see exactly what is going on and address it from there.. No sence in throwing darts into the wind..  ;)

Yes it has the adjustment wheels.

Thanks again.
I think this is my last question. Would my brakes be asbestos and is there a way to tell. I would wear a mask if i can tell they are.

If you feel like a road trip to Ohio, that Charger SE would be a good contender for the Burn Out Contest at the Chardon, Ohio Mopar show. :yesnod:
