This system has a "passive" rear wheel control (meaning rear brake pressure during anti-lock braking is provided by the master cylinder). Rear brake fluid application is controlled according to wheel speed, degree of wheel slip and rate of de...

If the braking surface diameter exceeds specifications, the drum must be replaced. If the braking surface diameter is within specifications, drums should be cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores, deep grooves, taper, out of round and heat spotting. If drums are cracked or heat spotted, they must be replaced. Minor sc...

Although the brakes are self-adjusting, an initial adjustment is required when the brake shoes have been relined, replaced or when the length of the star wheel adjuster has been changed during some other service operation.
