Steering
« on: August 24, 2011, 11:50:11 AM »
 Hi to all I have a problem with my 1977 400/4. When I am pushing it and turn Bars to the left the Brakes bind going Fotward or Reverse Turning Bar to right no problem, I removed Caliper and checked pistons and cleaned them.No good anyone have this problem. Itis suggested that I change Brake Hoses but the previous owner had fitted new ones. Any other suggestions

wheel bearings?  The thought being the hub carrying the rotor, is shifting, putting the rotor in a bind in the caliper.

I've heard of this, but never actually seen it. Wheel bearings do not need a lot of miles to be bad. Really old can cause problems too.

Check the routing of the brake hoses.  You said the PO installed new lines.  They may be routed in such a way that one is getting pinched when turning the bars.
