    Grabby brakes '86 MGM 5/0

    Just curious........recently after a rain storm I found that the brakes became very 'grabby' and actually locked up a few times. Does intense dampness effect the brake lining like this?. This is a first, and never happen previously.

    Unless there is some kind of damage to the brakes or serious dirt got in, a good dry out and they should be fine.

        usually flash rust on the rotor, makes it extra grippy until you stop a few times and polish it off. Everything I own does it.

          Forklift we have at work does this too. Quite annoying and always wondered why it did it when it was used outside in damp, rainy weather.
