Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid to transmit force, and leaks can cause a loss of brake pressure, leading to decreased braking performance.

Worn brake pads or shoes

Over time, brake pads (disc brakes) or shoes (drum brakes) wear down and need replacement to ensure effective braking.

Brake master cylinder failure

The master cylinder is a key component in a hydraulic brake system, and its failure can lead to a complete loss of braking power.

Brake caliper issues

Calipers can seize or leak, causing uneven braking and reduced braking efficiency.

Corroded brake lines

Older vehicles like the 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max can suffer from rust and corrosion in the brake lines, leading to leaks and potential brake failure.

Overheating issues

With an older 4-cylinder engine, there could be overheating problems due to a failing radiator, water pump, or thermostat.

Oil leaks

Gaskets and seals wear out over time, leading to oil leaks that can affect engine performance and longevity.

Carburetor problems

The 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max likely has a carburetor, which can become clogged or out of adjustment, leading to poor engine performance.

Ignition system issues

Faulty spark plugs, ignition wires, or distributor components can cause misfires and poor engine performance.

Timing belt failure

If not replaced at recommended intervals, a worn timing belt can break and cause significant engine damage.

Fuel pump failure

An old or failing fuel pump can lead to poor fuel delivery, causing the engine to run poorly or not at all.

Vacuum leaks

Aging hoses and gaskets can develop leaks, leading to poor engine performance and drivability issues.
