73 duster front brakes locking up when coming to a stop.
I don't know about that.
A guy I knew that once lived in this:
He owned this car:
One time we were heading south to go to the annual Spring Fling in Van Nuys, CA.
He drove his car, I drove this:
We stopped for gas and I saw grease coming out of the front hub on the right side. He looked closer and determined that it was wheel bearing grease that had cooked out.
FAST FORWARD TO THE POINT:
In an embarrassing display of his "Skills", he had torqued his wheel bearing nut to some ungodly number using FT/LBS instead of Inch/LBS !
This was his second set in a row he did this to. He thought the first set were defective so he replaced them, then did the same dumb thing as before.....he ran the nut down to something like 40-50 Ft/LBS ! Where did he get this spec? If anything, the spec would be Inch/LBS.
I never torque wheel bearings. Nobody else besides THIS guy does either. It is a matter of feel.
He didn't mention any issue with braking or steering but in his "defense", he was always dealing with some failure due to his hack automotive skills.
