[Shotimes] REAR ROTORS

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

I wonder how this heavy iron bracket gets bent? I have heard of 3 different
people finally getting the rear brakes to stop groaning/warping or making
noise by replacing these.
 Since the problem is on both sides you might consider changing the rear
pressure control valve. These can freeze or get sticky and restricts the
fluid flow. Part #E6DZ-2B547-A. List about $80. Are the rear brakes easy to
bleed? Is the pedal any harder when bleeding the back as compared to the
front?
