Thanks for the response. I also have a problem with the right front brake locking up when first applying pressure in approaching a stop then backing off and reapplying the right front will brake real hard. I'm sort of doing a slow pump of the brakre pedel. A broken return spring? soaked brake lining? It's a all drum Guilia.

Your diagnosis seems likely Gary, Time to pull that front drum and have a look in there. The Alfa drums, functioning correctly, are great brakes with excellent pedal feel and more than enough stopping power for the weight of the car. Fortunately, from the sources listed, just about every part you may need for a complete restoration of the system is available.

They are beautiful drums as I have cleaned them up to a nice shine. Now, I'll check more closley inside. Thanks.
