RE: {Chrysler 300} 300F brake dragging



If your car is pulling to the right, then the issue is likely on the left side. Assuming that both sides are set up correctly, when you step on the brakes, the shoes on both the left and right should touch the drums at exactly the same time. If something is hanging up on the left, the right will touch the drum first, causing the pull. I would pull the left drum to look for issues. Then I would reset the shoe-to-drum distance, using the adjusters on the back of the assembly.

After repairing a leak at the master cylinder and bleeding my car would pull to the right on braking. 

Then on my last trip my right front brake remained engaged after braking. 

Fortunately I was a few blocks from home and was able to continue slowly. 

Here is a photo - I expected to see a broken spring but everything looks normal. Both wheel cylinders extend and retract when I lightly press the pedal.
