Re: Packard front brakes - 3 shoe Bendix

I have added a couple of shots for clarity. The cam does not move when the hub is turned left but moves when turned right. It's only a small amount but it still applies significant brake.Moving the cam carrier bracket has no effect. It appears to be the alignment of the brake shaft from the chassis to the wheel that is the problem. I don't have another similar vehicle to compare it with. I could probably live with the condition but it would be great to have a solution.
(Yes I have some modern shock absorbers fitted until the snubbers are restored.)
