Pajero 88 breakes question

[damtool]

Jeg vet ikke hvordan er''bil breakes''på norsk slik at jeg må skrive det på engelsk

In my Pajero 88 when i use 2-wheels drive i can use only front breakes.
While 4x4 both,front and back are working.

Does anybody know if it s a car model issue or can i trun 2wheels drive/full brakes somehow//

Normally the braking system is proportioned approximately 70% in front and 30% in the back to avoid skids and to help the driver control the direction of the car better during braking. When you have 4wd engaged in a car with no center differential the braking power is applied 50/50 through the driveshafts.

If you experience no braking power at all on the rear wheels in 2wd, this should be properly looked after. Most good workshops and garages have brake testing equipment.


my own brakes tested at a safe place. You can see that the rear skidmarks is weaker than the front ones.

Thanks fro reply.
About that i felt it most during the winter time when 2WD breaking was really poor comparing to 4x4 and after all with 2,5 ton car 2WD winter breaking was pretty much shooting an arrow
But i guess this is just small proportion differnce between 2/4wd breakes power apply and in my car's case it s really heavy front which makes it s bit unstable during breaking.
After all good to know.
