Handbrake on but wheels still move an inch
 

Hi, I have a problem I have never come across before. After applying the handbrake the car still moves forward an inch. So i jacked it up at the rear and found that even with the handbrake on I am able to grab the rear wheels and rotate them about an inch before they hold solid. Its beginning to annoy me at traffic lights and when parking. Any ideas what might be causing this problem? Thanks in advance! carlos

Sorry should have posted this in the 'Wheels, Tyres & Brakes' section

It's normal.

Yes, Mine does it as well. Steve.

So does mine. It's a tiny movement, but for some reason, it really ticks me off.

+1 dont know if its just the shoes rotating with the wheel until the mounting pins or shoe stops stop them :wonder: must take my discs of and have a look one day! :Whatever_

mine does. although ive had mines jacked up with the hand brake off and i have alot of play

problem solved - fit coilovers and set them to hard setting :)

My 2007 WRX does this as well. I thought my handbrake needed adjustment and was going to get them to do it at the next service :confused:
