On the CGP, the front axle housings wear, at the point they are supported by the chassis mounting bracket. When you jack up the truck to adjust brakes the brake back plate moves to central because it is attached to the chassis. Then you let the jack down and you have the impression that the brakes are over adjusted and binding slightly.....steering and turning can somtimes cause the brakes to bind on a slightly worn axle....hope this makes sense, anybody else found this? I know that went off the thread a little :)
