What's the deal with brakes on these cars? We had two Grand Prix and the rear brakes would always seize up. The 89 we had ran FOREVER, but the paint peeled, the instrument cluster shit itself, the rear struts went, and the brake calipers seized numerous times. Someone told me you could put graphite in the sliders or hone them out or something but by then the car was scrapped. Still ran good.

My brother had a white 95 SE that was a lemon, he overpaid for the car after I told him not to buy it. Paid like 4500 bucks for the thing in 2004 or so. Interior stuff kept breaking, rear struts blew and the rear tires were both riding on their inner edges, intake started leaking, a tie rod went on the front and both wheels cocked out in opposite directions. Eventually some drunk guy CREAMED the whole side of the car from the driver's door to the rear and it was totalled by the insurance company.


there was a class action lawsuit here in the US about the rear brakes on a w-body over the sliders on the rear caliper seizing.

Yeah, I remember my dad got a check from that! It wasn't for much though.

yeah, there were MANY cars that had that problem!
my 98 Lumina and 99 Monte are drum brakes in the rear... they look like drums off a 3/4 ton truck.
