When I first bought my Dak I noticed after driving it a while the front
brakes were so hot they would burn your fingers, the back were to hot to
touch, both working I guess, then I noticed the back s were cool or cold,
took it in last weed to a break shop and had the backs adjusted they sain
that the shoes were not even touching the drums, and that the back up
adjusters were not doing their job, now when I drive it both front and back
are very hot.
I always backed up hard and hit the brakes hard but they still did not self
adjust.
I think the front were doing all the work and getting to hot, will see how
they hold up now that the backs are working right.
