Steering, brake fade

[Mike Gurr]

Handy that this thread surfaced again now. Following a couple of very muddy shows and the feeling that my Carrier just wasn't turning as well as it used to, I have just had my brake drums off to clean out the mud and sand off the glaze from the brake shoes. All went well and I have set the brakes up with the 80 ft lbs then back off 4 clicks which gives exactly what it should with the brakes coming on at 90 degrees of wheel on and full on at around the 160 degrees of wheel. However having put on full left or right wheel the relevant brake sticks on but releases as soon as I press on the brake pedal. I have to take another look at it tomorrow but anyone any ideas?
