Tire Won't Spin

I went to drive and the rear driver side wheel won't turn at all What could be the causes and how can I fix them?

has the car been sitting for a long period of time without being driven?

Rear wheel drive or front wheel drive?

Hi, Worst case senario is a frozen wheel bearing, BUT mostlikely is a brake problem IE, A frozen caliper and or parking brake cable,,The only way to find out is get the wheel off to inspect the above mentioned parts,,,GOOD LUCK...Clay..

Rear wheel drive or front wheel drive?

its one of those rare rear wheel drive contours! :grinno:

i'd say locked brake drum/wheel bearing.

The car was sitting less than a day. I drive the car everyday.

or caliper...some have 4 wheel disc brakes. :wink:only SVT's though, right?

unless they swapped, like I'm going to.

My SE has all wheel disc brakes.

My SE has all wheel disc brakes.hmm were they only on pre-98s? I've neaver heard/seen a non-svt with 4 disc's stock. Learn something new every day.

the 'SE' was top-of-the line back in 96 so probably only they came with them, this summer my car will be a exact copy of an SE except one major mod, atx zetec :lol:

All of the pre98 SE's had them for sure. After 98, things got a little goofy but yes, some non svts did receive 4 wheel discs.

well shit I might as well go back and get the rear discs off the SE I got my lip spoiler off of, it had stealies on it so I never looked at the brakes.

instead of paying out the ass for svt rear brakes.
