In preparation for going to Syracuse on Monday, I brought my car ('88 Sedan DeVille) in to a friends shop for servicing....oil, lube, filters and fluid......
A little voice had me ask him to check my brakes while he was at it, boy am I glad I did.....The rear brakes were nothing but scrap! Driver's side return spring had broken and the shoes had gouged the drum beyond salvage, but even worse was the passenger's side! Apparently sometime ago they had locked up completely with the shoes fused to the drum. The wheel was still turning, but the drum wasn't!
