Rear Drum Brakes
Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear
indicators, but if you ever hear
a
rear
brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake
linings inspected.
Also,
the rear brake
drums should be removed and inspected
each time the tires are removed for
rotation or changing. When
you
have the
front brakes replaced, have the rear
brakes inspected,
too.
Brake linings should always be replaced
as complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake
pedal
does
not return to normal height, or
if
there
is a rapid increase
in
pedal travel.
This
could be a sign
of
brake trouble.
