turning brake drums, surface flywheel-amazed!

Don't forget that part of it is that newer cars have rotors that are so thin they either naturally warp or are designed to be thrown away when it's time to change the pads... Manufacturers are doing everything they can to make cars lighter to meet CAFE and EPA standards...
And like he said, everything is made to be throw away!!!! Been going on a while. MY 95 ram 3500 the front wheel bearings went Southat 100,000 mi and ate a spindle. I had a shop do it as I did not have time , HE said those years and 1 t. dodge has piss poor bearings and they all went away at that mileage. A heavy duty truck should not need bearings at 100,000. I have now 230,000 and still running his bearings with no problem.
I love building these old cars but every year I tell myself " NO MORE"!!!!!! I cry UNCLE!!!!!!! I have pretty well convinced myself!
