Re: [Chrysler300] pulling brakes

[Brandt Jimerson <brandt300g@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tim! I'm not positive that I will solve your problem but can give you a few suggestions. My 300G does the same thing to a small extent even after I adjusted my brakes! For the fronts, I adjust (with a 7/16 wrench), both primary and secondary adjusters towards the forward rotation of the drums then back the other direction just enough so when I give tire a good spin, it goes around 11/2 times, stopping on its own (not giving you a lesson, but just explaining how I do it so were on the 'same page'). Rears; the front adjusters towards the forward rotation, but the rear adjusters (regarding the rear brakes) adjust opposite 'till lock, then slightly backed off. Now, finally, to go on with my suggestions (and may not solve your problem 'cause mine still isn't right) would be what was suggested to me such as alignment, even though you rebuilt your suspension. It could be tire not properly inflated. Was your car ever hit? Mine was! I don't know for sure if that is my problem and please
 anybody, give us your input on that!  Jeff Carter from JC Auto next year is going to do a subframe change on my G and it will be interesting if she behaves better. Hope I was of some help!   300ly, Brandt H. J.  San Diego area, Calif.  300G.

into the garage to look at it finally. my 64, all drums ( not  
converted........yet) i rebuilt the suspension about a year or so ago. i cannot  remember if 
it started then so i cannot help there, sorry. when i apply the  brakes, 
above 10 or 20 ish, she pulls hard to the right. so hard it takes 1/4  turn of the 
wheel to keep it in my lane. i have adjusted the brakes  and it  did not 
resolve anything. last check there was no contamination on the surface,  and the 
wheel does stop after being spun and brakes applied on a stand. so i was  
wondering if anybody had a check this to try to save me time, being everyone  here 
has a 300 probably with drums, and i think i will get some ideas i would  not 
have thought of. thakn you in advance, tim
