Nearside wheel stiff to move when jacked up

Post by SnowFAN »

Hey everyone, just got a t25, it’s running good, but on the nearside, when I jacked it up, the wheel could be spun by hand but was a little stiff, the other side spins freely, do I need to be concerned?

Yes its probably a sticking caiper if the front.
If the rear then a sticking shoe which will need the spring kit and an overhaul.
