well today i had to take my yota to the shop cause the brakes were actin funny and i cant sell it when it doesnt stop to well and what they found out was that my rear drums were not touching when the brakes were applied they were so far out of adjustment that they didnt stop the truck i have been driving my truck around for about 4 or 5 months only stoping with my front brakes the guys at the shop were shocked that i never noticed that the rear brakes didnt work so i guess whoever the PO was did a brake job and didnt adjust the drums they said i was lucky that i never had a problem before

 

Well, Atleast you found out that way and not the car accident way .

 

Rear brakes are self adjusting, how can that be?!

 

wow... you'd definately notice it if it was only the drums working.

 

No kidding! I know for a fact that they'll tighten up when you use the E brake. That's how I adjusted mine when I replaced the shoes.

 

That was my first thought. You must have something else screwing things up.

 

im just goin by what they told me i didnt even know that so im confused how could the rear brakes not touch then when the brakes are applied?

 

well whatever they did with my brakes it worked my ebrake works now and it has never worked even when i bought the truck it never worked so they had to have done something to my drums to get it to work
