What gives? Let's hear your hypotheses . . .vwlover77 wrote:OK, today I verified that the steel lines from the tee to the passenger side rear brake are free and clear.
To summarize:
1. Driver's side rear brake locks much sooner than passenger side under very hard braking.
2. After a normal drive, the driver's side drum is significantly hotter than the passenger side.
3. Shoes properly adjusted with no sound of shoe/drum contact on the driver's side, and a slight rub for part of a wheel revolution on the passenger side.
4. Driver's side drum is nearly new (the old one showed significantly more wear than the passenger side).
5. Wheel cylinders on both sides nearly new.
6. Brake shoes on both sides nearly new (but have plenty of miles to be broken in).
7. Rubber hoses on both sides nearly new.
8. Braking action with the parking brake is equal on both sides.
What gives? Thanks!
I'll offer this, brake springs different?
