Cadillac Repair: allante brake, radiator hoses, allante

Question
I have a 91 allante   It was park for a couple of month  jump in and a mile down the road no brake,
help

Answer
Hello,

obviously without seeing the car, I can only guess, but sounds like contaminated brake fluid, or a caliper boot let go from age.


People tend to forget about the age of vehicles, because they may have low miles or cosmetically appear to look good. 20 years with the same brake fluid, anti freeze, radiator hoses is just asking for disaster. I recommend flushing the brake fluid and anti freeze every three years regardless of mileage.

I also recomend changing calipers every 5 years.
