Re: [Chrysler300] Front disc brake conversion....red loctite?



Owen,
I agree with Matt, I converted my H with the AAJ set-up and I'll never change it back to drums.  If I ever sell the car, the drum set-up goes with it in a box.  You should use some kind of setting compound, if that little adapter ever starts spinning with the bearing, it could cause excessive heat build-up and possible catastrophic failure. I am very satisfied with the disc brakes. My car now stops when and where I want it to, and without guessing which way the car will swerve on panic stops.

Hi everyone,

I have a front disc brake conversion kit here from AAJ Brakes, everything
looks really nice. The only questionable thing, to me, is using RED LOCTITE
in between the adapter and spindle. As far as I know, once this adapter has
red loctite on it, it will become a permanent part of the spindle. So if you
were to go back to drums or whatever (probably not likely but it's nice to
have that option) your spindles are affectively useless...unless you use
heat to remove which is not recommended on steering components. There isn't
a lot of spare spindles..down here anyway. Would it be better to use a
sleeve locking compound or similar which could be removed, with difficulty,
if needed. Rather than using the permanent red thread loctite?

Anyone been through this?

Thanks
