Re: [Chrysler300] 300F Brakes

Same problem with my F after sitting all winter. Arcing the brake shoes helped somewhat, but it still occurs after long periods of inactivity.

 

It's said that Calgary has 1 month of summer and 11 months of poor skating conditions...... Snow is gone and the City is starting to pick up the pea gravel from the roads, so hope to have old cars out by month end.

I agree with Bob.  I had the same problem with the G on a couple of occasions.  The front of the shoe locks against the drum until you wear down that layer of rust.

How old are your brake hoses ? Sounds like they are collapsing internally, causing fluid not to return to the master cylinder.

First nice day here in Dayton OH, so I fired up the 300F to get it out of winter storage.  Engine started up just fine, but the brakes didn't.  When I apply the brakes normally, they totally lock up.  Backing up,  by only a few inches, releases them, but normal stops again result in lock up. Before I tear into the brakes, any suggestions about I might be looking for?  Terry McTaggart
