i know this might be a stupid question but its pretty urgent.
Am i right in thinking that garages usually lift the front or rear of a car to test the rear/front brakes respectiveley?
Will this damage the differentials or is it ok under certain speeds?

cheers for any help

 

hi
i recently had my scoob mot'd. they couldnt do the usual brake test on the rollers, just drive the car back on fore outside the workshop to make sure they actually work

Mull,

Give Pete at Scoobysport a ring 01268 590085. He arranges/does MOT's for Scoobies, and as he doesn't have a brake test kit should know who to turn to.

Yex

 

I think, might be wrong though , that because the car is 4 wheel drive & has abs they can't do this. They have a book and watch the abs light come on & off in a sequence to determine if the abs brakes will work / not

hope that this helps
