I asked this question once before but I have more info now:
Rear brakes put pressure on but not enough to really slow the car. I had the adjustment on the rear wheels so they were one notch below lock on the wheel. So when driving the car, the lack of pressure causing loud vibration when coming to a stop. The drums have just been turned. If I put the emergency brake on about 4-5 clicks, the vibration goes away and the pedal engages higher also.
So, either the shoes are not fitting the drums well, or the rear restrictor is limiting the brake fluid to the back. By the way that restrictor was taken out and cleaned when I replaced all the brake parts.
So any ideas?
