yeah but not overly so. It felt like I had the e-brake on for a mile or so. Give it some short runs and see if it loosens up a bit. If you hear a whine or grinding noises thats bad. It might whine a little at first if you get it a bit too hot on the first drive. You do have lube in it right? Might wanna change that out after a week or two of normal driving. Get all the metal from the breakin period out of it.

 

Hey thumpin,
yes i did put lube in it. lol. I am not going to be able to test drive it for a few days because i am waiting for some leaf spring U-bolts. I am thinking about going up and down my drive way a few times for the first run and having my brother stand next to the rear listening for weird sounds. Hopefully it is all ok and works out fine.
