RE: [Chrysler300] pulling brakes

["Jean Debos" <jdebos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Same thing happens to my 62...when I start the car the first time I apply
the brakes I go flying through the windshield and it pulls towards the right
and blocks...then I put it in R and brake..after a few miles everything goes
back to normal...shoes are brand new, and it didn't use to do it when we
replaced them!!!!  Is it just an adjustment????

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

raining and i cannot  get 
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
