So I finally got behind the rear discs doing some work and discovered that a previous owner had the emergency brake system removed. This was never disclosed when I bought the car over a year ago.
I do remember him saying he had a brake issue which stained the rear rim a rusty color, but he "had that fixed"
Is there a common problem with the emergency system on these 1998 awd Volvos??
So I found an '98 Xc70 in the yard and am planning to remove from it the parts I need and cannot find new. The cables are still there but mothing else. I can get the shoes, discs and basic hardware new.
Should i replace the cables also? I expect this to be a PITA with routing it through the floor.
What can I do to prevent the same problem from occuring?
Thanks,
