Fred, You mention that the DS wheel is much more difficult to turn by
hand than the PS wheel. It almost sounds like there might be a caliper
piston that is not retracting as it should. This would cause the pads to
drag causing more heat. Many pads work best once they’re hot.
So if you’re driving down the road with the left side hot and the right
side cold, and suddenly hit the brakes, the left side will pull. Ken 67 Crown 4 Dr Ht 68 LeBaron 4 Dr Ht From:

Joslin I recently replaced the entire braking system on my 69 LeBaron Coupe.
Yesterday was my first chance to drive the car. This is always an exciting proposition after major brake works has been
done, even if you are sure that everything was done correctly. Everything looked good and worked great. The car stopped well and the
pedal feel was firm and high up. The only problem is that the car pulls to
the left. I replaced the master cylinder all wheel cylinders (CalipersOnline calipers
at front), pads, shoes and front rotors (Dura Brake). After I had completed the assembly I checked the run out of the rotors. The
DS was 0.007" and the PS was 0.003" and the DS front wheel is
noticeably more difficult to turn than the PS front wheel. Is this causing the
pulling? If so it seems that the remedy is to have my
brand new rotors turned to make them more true. Not what I had
anticipated! Fred Joslin |
