[Chrysler300] Braking system problems

["Russell Roe" <saxblower@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom and group.....I have many vintage and antique autos and they sit a lot and the brakes act this way occasionaly.  The best remedy to start with is just a good bleeding of the brake system. This gets all the contaminated fluid out and air out of the lines and gets everything working again. Kind of a ** if you don't use it you lose it** kind of problem....also brake fluid is harmful to painted surfaces so be cautious when doing this.  The left front wheel is closest to the master cylinder and therefore gets the most pressure when the brakes are applied if the brake system is low on fluid or there is air in the brake lines....once all the air is out and the fluid levels are full most of the time the brakes will work as they should.   Give this a try and I'm guessing it will correct the problem........Rusty in Oregon 1957 300c, 61 Newport, 36 Dodge brothers, 78 Jeep Golden Eagle 401 J-10 4wd, and many un-mentional non-mopar cars
