So my vrs was up for mot on the 5th,never done anything to it just got it washed and brought it to mot....ended up it failed on passenger side ball joint and a high imbalance on the handbrake...

Ball joint was handy done, the handbrake was just a siezed cable on the drivers side,easy fix, got it changed and both wheels were locking and equally rolling free again on release, so booked it in for a re test...

Car failed on a imbalance on the rear foot brake this time,2.09kn on passenger and 1.10kn on drivers, handbrake was above the pass mark,

what i would like to know is how could changing the handbrake cable effect the performance of the foot brake in less than 40 miles?

Possibly find with the inactive handbrake on that side the pads have got stuck in the carrier, now the handbrake is working its jarred the pad across to a new position and it's got stuck again.

Wants a strip down and inspect.
