    Default Wheel Drag

    Having problems with drag in the front tires? What could I do to help this? Pretty sure it is brake drag/friction!

    Is this something new, after a change, or an existing problem?

    9 times out of 10 its the brake caliper.....unless you running the right spacers for the pads.. the pistons ride out too much and want to lock up in the bore.....
    The " re-manufactured" units for cheap bucks at autozone and advance don't help much either....

    The calipers are brand new metric calipers, where can i get the right spacers?

    Don't forget to take out the small rubber bushings in the mounting holes. They can slow the return of the caliper.

    if its metric spindles, they are prone to bend at the caliper mounts, it can be so small you wont even notice it, but it will cause brake drag. try a different caliper and if it still has brake drag id say its the spindle.

    Just use a old inner brake pad without the material for a spacer
