72HQ that has unknown upgraded disc brakes

[Andys GTS]

is the booster and master cylinder like ba falcon Ive seen heaps of them drag the front brakes take the master cylinder off the booster and wind the adjuster bolt on the end booster operating rod in a turn or 2. there was a ford service note that describes the issue BA falcon had with front brakes dragging.

Actually I watched a YouTube video just last night where a guy showed how to fix that very issue. But I would have thought if that was the case it would be locking up on both front brakes rather than just the right front, what do you think?

Wouldn't this be the case if more than 1 was sticking?

I was wondering the same thing. It would lockup on both sides wouldn't it if it was the booster adjustment? Or maybe not, I don't know.

Is there any chance the hose on the opposite wheel is blocked, preventing that caliper from working and putting the full effort on one side only?

Well it might be, but when I did a 4 wheel bleed the fluid wasn't restricted from flowing out on either side.

I have considered swapping the calipers over to see if it makes it lockup on the other side, if it did then that would isolate it to that caliper, but if it was still locking on the same side it would have to be the booster or the lines.

Cant swap left to right or front to rear.
ex. Front right is front right. Will not bolt to any place else.

Oh really, they looked fully interchangeable. I thought it would just mean the fluid line would be at the top not the bottom. Oh well that rules that out then.

Booster adjustment being wrong would cause all 4 to lock....Well, that's what happened to me anyways
