{Chrysler 300} Chinese wheel cylinders.

[David Dumais <ddume300@xxxxxxxxx>]

Strange thing happened during my 64 brake swap.

Both sets of brakes were removed.

I completed the Drivers side first.

Went to the passenger side and noticed the rubber covers on the new China cylinders were mushroomed out from lip

No brake pressure was applied during this operation.

However. The pistons were half out ot both cylinder sides.

Tried to push them in, and Dot 5 began leaking like a small river.

One piston was off center of bore.

Upon removal, both pistons were re engaged and revealed.

One piston resisted being pushed back in, but finally re assembled. 

Brought my life time warranty back to advance auto, yes, it was another made in China unit

Just do happens that was the side that brakes were pulling at 25 to 40 mph.

Perhaps brake booster still had pressure in it and caused issue

Ran car yesterday in early afternoon.

All new braking components replaced along with alignment follow up.

Any additional hmphs would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Dave D
