1992 SSEi unknown problem
 

Ok so heres the problem, once in a while when i try to drive my 1992 SSEi it feels like i'm dragging something under the rear pass. tire, I get out and check but there's nothing there. Usually it stops after a few min (3 tops) and it doesnt happen that often (only happened twice in the last 6 months) but i would like to know if there is a serious problem so i can fix it.

Did it happen after you used the emergency/parking brake? Could be a binding cable.

Nope i've never used the E brake or Parking brake ( I live in NYC)

Can you give us any more info? Is there any noise? Feeling in the steering wheel?

In other words, what gives you the impression of something dragging?

well no feeling in the steering wheel, but in terms of noise picture a childs plastic toy being draged behind your tire, thats the noise I get

Hmmmm....that's not ringing any bells with me at the moment, but tell us a bit more...

When was the last time you did your brakes?

Any fluid leaks evident under your car? If so, where?

Without any more information, I'm only guessing to say you might have an occasional brake pad dragging. If that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to look them over and adjust or replace as necessary.

no leaking of any kind, but i'm actually having my brakes done next week, so I guess i'll just have the Mec. give it a thorough check

Thanx for the help

Good chance it's only the brakes. Especially living in the stop and go captial....I mean city. ;)

Ask him to check wheel bearings as well.
