Parking brake question with pictures
Hello all...I am a new owner of a 2003 Maxima GLE as of this afternoon. ![Big Grin](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
On my way home...I heard a grinding sound when I decelerated (from about 30-0) and when I accelerate from 0 to about 30. I figured I just need new brakes, as the car has 88,000 miles.
However...I did notice that the parking brake seems to lean a bit to the left or drivers side, and seems bent. Could this be the cause of the grinding sound? If so...how do I fix this?
Thanks SOOOO much for helping out a newbie!![Smilie](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
