dual diag. saves the day!


Recommended Posts

I had a brake line burst on my subaru the other day, while doing some stock 4x4ing. Anyways, I decided to drive to the top of my property (mountain side) without full brakes, as in 4x4 I can use the e-brake for low speed stopping and holding. So I'm at the top of this little trail, and I roll backwards after stalling and not getting on the ebrake soon enough, and wedge myself against a log. The car is stuck, so i try airing down, and it makes some difference but not enough. I try and try, shoveling etc. Then it hits me. I've got only one diagonal of braking, and that diagonal puts the brakes on only the spinning wheels!!! So sure enough I put the brakes on and the gas and it flies out as if locked front and rear!! :banana: Subaru thinks of everything!!! :clap:
