It a strange problem with the Escort now it's come to rolling it around.

The front wheels are very hard to spin by hand (it's a struggle to spin them with both hands when in the air), this became apparent when I tried to push it in the workshop.

However, turning them backwards is not.

It's weird. If I say, spin the wheel forward 1/4 of a turn it is hard, I turn it backward 1/4 and it's easy, I then turn it 1/4 turn forwards again and it easy up until the last time I stopped then gets hard again. If that makes sense.

Everything is new or rebuilt so I can't think what it could be...everything aside from the wheel bearings as I was told when I bought the hubs they had "been 'recently' replaced.

Does this sound like dodgy hearings or something more sinister.?
