Please help, everytime i use my car the mags are getting too hot, you cannot afford to touch it. I was thinking it is the reason why my front tire was deformed so I purchased 2 brand new front tires. In addition, I had my front calipers overhauled, even purchased a caliper kit after a diagnosis from the service center. After that, the mags are still getting very hot upon driving the car. I dont know what to do next.... Please give me an idea.

Hi rzaperp,


Try checking the following.

1. Pedal free travel.

2. Booster to master cylinder clearance.

3. Faulty master cylinder.

4. Defective flexible hose.

5. Defective brake PCV. If ABS then you need to check it too.
