What kind of brakes in the rear? - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant

drum or disc it depends on model.

sounds like one of the bleeder nipples wasn't tightened properly. There's a cool little bleeder kit that has a blocker ball in it so it doesn't allow any air back into the brake line when you go pump the brake pedal until you tighten the nipple.

It depends on model. Most cars have disc brakes in front and drum brakes in rear. Some cars have disc brakes front and rear. Look through the front wheels, you will see the front disc, now look at the rear, if it looks like the fronts, you have 4 wheel disc brakes, if you cant see anything behind the wheel, it has rear drum brakes.

could be that the brakes are getting jammed. this is possibility that the rear brake cylinder is jammed due to rust, the brake shoe alignment is out of sync.kindly remove the rear assembly and check for these indicators.

You have brake rotors and pads on the front. Looking on the rear axle if it looks like the front it will be rear rotor and pads. And if you cannot see the rotor or pads on the rear axle then you will have what is called rear drums and brake shoes. Hope this will help you.

As far as I know, most front disc brake setups have pistons that are pressed back into the cylinders using a C-clamp or something similar.

However, not all rear disc systems are like this. There are some that require that the rear pistons be screwed back into the cylinder bores. These pinstons usually have some kind of indentations on the front where special tools fit and help move them back into the cylinder.

Your Hyundai may have this kind of setup.

The rear brakes are the same drum & brake shoe type.
Each rear wheel has a brake drum that rotates with the wheel. When the brakes are applied, a brake shoe is forced into contact with the brake drum to slow wheel rotation...........................sodeep

Easy way to find out...look at the fronts and then look at the rears. If the rears look like the fronts then you have disc brakes in rear. If not, you have drum brakes.

1999 Saturn SL brakes = front disc and rear drum.

Hi,

Usual suspects would be:
1. bulbs;
2. brake light switch;
3. rear harness connector;
4. loose grounding of rear lights assembly.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
