Here's another installment of Fixing it
Forward. In this episode we solve a nagging suspension noise and also repair the rear brakes. It appears the right rear wheel didn't have the parking brake connected. I investigate to find out why and make the repair.
If you're looking for a video on
Chrysler/
Dodge drum brakes, this is the video for you. As an added bonus, I also replace the front brakes in this video. The rotors had gotten rusty and we decided to replace them with a new set of pads.
We're getting closer to returning the van to
Barbara with each video.
