Default Now it's brakes

NOW after replacing the fragged roller brearings up front, a couple kids ran
into traffic at an interesection. It was a real showstopper for all the cars
as they all slammed on their brakes. I had to lock 'em up. The kids are
okay.

But now my front brakes are dragging. Goshdarn, I tell ya...

Have you tried readjusting them? Also what condition are yor rubber
lines, is it possible that they have collapsed?

Happy to hear everyone is ok.
