First let me say thanks again. This place is a wealth of info. Now to explain.

I just got back from a 1700 mile trip through northern Arkansas and southern Missouri with a pair of warped front rotors. Dang those Ozarks....lol. I think this is the 4th front brake job for my 08 Panel. I have 70K plus on it so part of it is normal wear and tear. After reading through several posts about warped rotors I discover the non-adjusting auto-adjust rear brake posts. Hmmm.....maybe I need to check this.

Has not been that long since I did the last brake job so front pads were good. Had the rotors resurfaced. (plenty of rotor left, only had to true them up) Checked the rear drums, of course they needed adjusting. Done that and vaccuumed all of the old brake fluid out and added fresh.

I have to say the brakes definately feel way better and I dont have to pull the parking brake lever as high to set it, which I do every time I park in my driveway. Time will tell if it helps the front rotors stay fit.

So finding the info about the rear brakes was very helpful. Thanks tons for posting it.

Vince- good to check when tires get rotated..

Another way to have an idea is, if the Parking-Brake has to pull up more than about 2 clicks to work.. It's adjustment time..

 

I will remember that. I rotate my own tires so it will be on my log. Thanks again.
