3. How much brake pressure does it take to stop my vehicle Most vehicles power or non power brake develop 1 200 P S I When you panic stop or jump on the brakes hard a surge of 1 400 P S I can be achieved If a factory proportioning valve installed on the vehicle the rear brakes are only developing 600 700 1 Drum brakes require lower pressure because they grab more quickly When rear disc brakes are installed the rear brake pressure be increased to 800 1 000 P S I or more good way to check the pressures and to see if the system is working correctly use a pressure gauge screwed into the bleeder port SSBC part 1704 A vehicle with less than 600 P S I will not stop How tight should the wheel bearings be The front bearings should always be torqued Not just hand tightened Bearings usually require 12 15 Ft Lbs of torque Then you will probably need to back off a little to align the cotter pin hole Do Not over tighten the bearing life will be shortened This procedure only applies to rear wheel drive vehicles with separate bearings and races On vehicles with one piece sealed bearing assemblies or hub assemblies refer to a service manual What type of differential fluid should use my rear axle If you have positraction use a Hypoid or Limited Slip additive that is designed for your particular rear end If you do not have positraction any type of 80 90 weight gear lube is acceptable
