Default Disk brake grabs

Hello,

We did a front drum to disk conversion using the 1980 Granada about 3 years ago. We notice that the driver side spins freely when the car is jacked up, but the passenger side is pretty tight. We replaced the calipers with new, with no change.

Is this normal, or could there be an issue with the distribution block? Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the input.

Tim

Are both sliders properly lubed? If not then they won't release properly and drag more on the rotor. Also if the caliper cage is damaged it would cause it to sit and drag too.
