    just play with tire pressures until it's real loose or just loose enough. works on pavement or dirt. won't cost you a thing.

    Caster Adjustment Possible

    My son did dads bee on an up to date dealership alignment rack. I think wayne mentioned to me it still wasn't feeling the way he wanted it. maybe some tweeks need to be done after driving the car to dial it in for each drivers personal preference! to me castor is the most important adjustment...

    Horsepower loss

    it's the lbs. up front that make the timeslip difference! you have to account for horsepower loss and how much more weight you have with the pump/box/belt/pulleys/fluid

    Brake Testing at DMV on a Brake Machine

    likely the total lbs. force applied to the pad! I think it's the brake balance they have issue with! maybe take your results back to them and get some explanation,just because one guy can't decipher it doesn't mean none of them can! I was pulled over in a spot check and after looking at the...

    Brake Testing at DMV on a Brake Machine

    I'd call hunter and try tech dept. maybe you can send them email of your results for an explanation! I understand the machine uses weight tranfer to establish brake %, suspension changes could alter results for/aft. but not side to side!

    Howl / Outer Drum Spring no longer required?

    I think the springs would help dissipate heat on repeated hard use! brakes would likely need to be real hot before they made any difference!

    mushy brake pedal

    when you say all bled out that leaves only a mechanical problem. I would check pedal assembly for play under dash to be sure pedal pressure is being applied correctly to master! new flex hoses installed? check caliper sliders to make sure there free. jack all 4 wheels up and have an assistant...

    Spongy pedal with Manual front disc brakes/rear drum brakes

    if the front rotors won't turn when brakes are released sound like you have a residual valve in the front circuit,when it should be in the rear where it's needed! you sure you don't have the lines switched at the master have the rear drums been machined true and the adjustment light drag!

    Very odd brake problem 71 Satellite.

    can you see a residual valve in the rear port of the master!
  14. BB BELLA

    Very odd brake problem 71 Satellite.

    does the pedal come up if you pump the brakes! if you still have drum brakes in rear maybe the residual valve to rear is bad or missing! at least the booster isn't applying the brakes!

    Very odd brake problem 71 Satellite.

    I had a 420sel Benz, booster was applying the brakes randomly a few times.going down the highway the car would just start slowing until I had to pull over and it wouldn't move! I felt the rims and they were hot so loosened the rear bleeders and off I went! Benz mechanic told me to replace the...

    66 Sat upgrade to front disc brakes

    are the rears adjusted up firm! I know on my dually if the rears get loose the fronts don't work worth ****!

    Narrowing down brake issues...HELP.

    It's been quite a while since i played with mopar brakes and troubleshooting. just wondering if the the mopar gurus know if the residual valve is in the master or proportioning valve. OP states that rear bleeding firms up and then goes soft. if the residual was bad and the brakes weren't...

    Narrowing down brake issues...HELP.

    if you slowly push pedal and it goes to floor but you stab the pedal it firms up the m/c is bad!
