Frt Brakes

[DriftersWay]

Can anyone tell me if the front wheels are supposed to turn freely when jacked up. I know on a car there is resistant from the brake drag. But my RT turns freely. Thanks All

Your in luck...

If your brakes turn freely , but they still do their job of stopping the Spyder, you're good to go.
My RS brakes turn freely with just a little drag.

Wheels Turning

If your wheels can turn with no drag or very little drag then your breaks are adjusted correctly.
More importantly both front wheels should have the same amount of drag if any.

The breaks usually do not turn, only the drums or rotors. :banghead:

You're good to go.

Good to go..!!

you can apply the brakes then rotate the wheel and you will have drag as the pads back away from the disk. They may vary on how clean and free the pistons are, the cleaner the faster the return. Not to worry..ryde on..!!hyea:

Thanks all. I have no problems being able to stop on a dime and give 9 cents change.

If they DIDN'T turn freely; you take a look at the brakes, and the front wheel bearings... :shocked:
