I was having a problem with my brakes and could not really pin point the issue. The car was up off the ground and one day on of the kids was turning the wheel back and forth. I heard a sound which turned out to be a loose wheel bearing. How that happened i have no idea as the car is still not being driven as I'm working out small issues. The only thing i can think of is the drum was not fully seated on the spindle. The car had been pulling to the right on braking and this was on the right side. The brakes were also to tight
Now my disc brake conversion kit from SSBC came and i started to disassemble the brakes. My surprise came on the drivers side. The wheel cylinder was leaking bad. I never felt it in the pedal! I dont get this at all. The other part is these wheel cylinders bought awhile back and installed and bled some time ago, maybe in 2016 but the car has not been used until recently, so what i can figure is although the car has always been in a dry garage this cylinder went bad from lack of use. Im going to check out the rears before i take the car off the stands
