Re: Rear brakes.
I have found that if the rear wheel bearing and races are not replaced , it is best to first adjust the rear brakes with the wheels on the shop floor or the ground . I slightly push the car forward and backward to feel for drag when adjusting the rear brakes . The least bit of wear on the rear bearings and races can cause drag when the rear wheels meet the road if the rear brakes are adjusted with the car on stands .. The front wheel bearings are tapered . I adjust the front brakes with the car on stands . Wear in the rear wheel bearing set up is quickly taken up when the rear tires meet the road and will cause the rear brakes to drag and get hotter .
