need some information. my winter project is a complete rebuild of the brake system. My brakes worked but did not seem optimal. when I purchased the car 1 1/2 yr ago the front pads were new and the rotors look ok. Looking in bendex book they say tht the rotors new are .300 and should be thrown away at .290. Mine are about .280 this could be part of my problem. I can not find a measurment in my manual. Dose anybody know if these are correct. Also the rear drums are at 7 in and do not seem to have been cut. the rear shoes are at6/32. how much lining should be on new shoes. I have the rears adjusted to the widest point on the adjuster and they still are not touching the drums. I believe a leaking axel sealis my biggest problem with the brakes.
Any comments please
