Re: Strange front brakes dragging
 

I added some springs to apply force at the top of the pads to keep the pads parallel which prevents the light dragging. I used some old TH400 direct drum return springs which seem to work well. This will only work if there is nothing else wrong in your brake system.

The springs are good. I did the same thing last summer. Got some springs at the local hardware store.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'm going to try the springs after I double check everything else.. One side rolls ok.. The other side has a tight spot.. ( maybe warped rotor) . How free can a strange setup get? I know lambs stuff will roll for 30 seconds or more.... Crazy! So with the car on jack stands and the front wheel on, can I get it close to lambs stuff or will I be doing good to get a few revolutions out of it?

Any idea how much the front brakes dragging affects e.t.?
