Soft pedal after hard turns

Check the hubs CAREFULLY when you pull the bearings. I've had two hubs in my live that somehow "ate" the bearing race loose inside the hub. You drive it in, the outer part seems tight. One of them, after cleaning the hub/ race of grease, was loose to the fingers after driven back in. It was not the race, it was the hub.

I don't remember them causing this problem, but it's another possibility.

For the record, I have never heard of this problem. I've had a number of rigs, back then, with disc brakes. I am 77 now. I have never been know for "easy stops."
