Is the rotor binding against the brake pads?  Maybe you need to make sure the caliper is free floating, like it is supposed to be.  Sometimes they bind up and won't slide back and forth like they are supposed to.

thats exactly what it seems to be doing, this could have been caused by fact that old wheel bearing was so trashed that wheel like tilted in at top and locked up sometimes, dunno how long they had it like that but i replaced bearing locking hub ect, it seems to get easier the moore i mess with it, i will wheel it this weekend then check up on it again see how it looks/works. i already hat zuki axles and want to go full widths on 35's but dunno much bout outboard front springs or cutting housing for spring...........
