97' Camaro, 3.8L, Disc rear brakes, ABS
I always knew that the front brakes did most of the work, but with the recent snow, i learned that the rear brakes do absolutely nothing. I slammed on the brakes on ice and the rears did not lock up. They just kept rolling, in neutral, on ice. The line to the rear looks OK (no kinks, etc.) and there is enough pressure to push the caliper pistons when I took them off to make sure they weren't seized.
ABS light is on but it is only for a front sensor. Apparently this isn't uncommon, but I am yet to find an answer.
Also, this is the free Camaro with 383,046 on the odometer ( over 500,000 actual), so cheap options are best.
