1971 Duster 340 10" front drum brakes - what other Mopar brake drum hubs will fit?
I've been driving Honda's from 1980 and I felt they had the worst brakes of any car I ever owned. My 80 Civic had solid front rotors and if I stopped hard at 70 MPH the rotors warped. My 90 Accord was a little better but still not that good. My other Honda's also left a lot to be desired in the braking department. So when my Odyssey needed rotors I went with the drilled and slotted and they are very noisy, almost to the point that the pads are metal on metal. I think Honda has improved, but with the Van I wanted the best combination possible with the front brakes. The rotors for the 80 Civic were $10, so I always kept a spare pair. The 90 Accord were the hardest rotors to change because you had to disconnect the ball joint to get at the bolts in the rear of the rotor. Now the worst part of changing the rotors on the newer cars is a screw in the rotor, that you have to use an impact hammer to get out. Still a very unorthodox way to remove the rotor. I've come to accept the short coming of the brakes, with the quality of the rest of the vehicle. Again, those drilled and slotted rotors are very noisy and most likely what you hear.
