1st Gen. Brake Trouble

I have a 93 4x4 that is &quot;brake challenged&quot;. The back end keeps locking up when the brakes are cold and some times the e-brake dosen't hold. The second problem that my baby has is that it now started pull to the left or right when coming off the freeway or in hard braking. The pulling seems to be kind of random, one day it will pull right and the nextday it will pull left and somtimes it won't pull at all! Got any ideas on how to fix her.<br><br>P.S. front brakes and rotors are at 95%, back brakes are at about 75% and drums are at 90%<br><br>Thanks Paws

Ha I'm not alone with this. I'm on my third E-brake cable. 2 form Chrysler one from J.C and they all suck. If I use my E-brake and disengage it it will 80% of the time stick and I will have to get out and pull the cable free or have the back wheel lock up when I stop on wet pavment. so I try not to use it, as I 'm sure as hell not going to buy yet another cable.
