the right side is perfect
looks like there is a problem with the hydraulic fluid wich is new and the system has beem bleed and adjusted following the maintenance manual

could be the bearing?
i jacked up and turning the wheel by hand and sound like somethig is out of center
thank for your help

Hi:
Are you refering to the rear brakes? Have you removed the wheel and drum to check if anything is broken?

Hi:
If everything is new except the bearing, check it for play and check the spindal for wear. Also, check the rear axle for bushing problems.

Please let me know what you find. I would like to know if it's the bearing.
