Urgently needed for 1950 Imperial



Thanks for that – it turned out to be a collapsed hose

Ray;

  Check the adjustment on your brake shoes, if its grabbing it means that the brake cylinders are working somewhat. This is a single circuit brake system, if one wheel cylinder goes the whole system looses fluid. If one set of shoes is adjusted too  far in, meaning that they don't even contact the drum, you will have a lurch to one side. Find a shop manual, Motor or Chilton will do, and follow the adjustment procedure.

 If there was a wheel cylinder was bad it would be self evident; take both of the front drums off and have someone sit inside and push the brake pedal while you watch. If you can see the shoes move, the wheel cylinder is fine. If one doesn't move, gushes fluid, you have found your problem. Contact Pro-Antique auto parts, or look up another company selling parts for old Chryslers on the internet, they shouldn't be hard to find. Too bad that you're not over here, you could order them from almost any auto parts store.

Best Regards

Hi Guys

 

Ray Gomm from the UK here - I urgently need a full set of wheel cylinder rubbers for 1950 Chrysler Imperial ( New Yorker chassis ) – 2 for each front wheel and 1 for each rear wheel – looks like I’m going to have to replace everything to find the problem : 

 

My front brakes grab one-sided so that the car always pulls violently to the right when braking.   I stripped everything down, cleaned it all and put it back but it still does the same -  can’t see anything obvious.  Helppppppppppppp !
