Hot Left Rim
Hi,
I recently added posi to my BOP 8.2 rear axle. I added new gears, bearings etc. I set everything up according to the book. Obtained a good pattern. I took it for a little 5 mile test drive and everything looked good, but when I touch the Left Rim it's Hot. The Right one is barely warm. What's going on??

Brakes. Maybe the wheel cylinder isn't retracting or the park brake cable not smooth and is holding it? Something along those lines is where I'd look.

Yep , check the brakes . Sounds like either the pads (or shoes )are dragging ..
Does the car pull to one side when driving ??Jeff Tate

Brake are a set of new "right Stuff" disc conversions. Both wheels turn equally easy...
