Are you sure you adjusted the rear brakes properly ? How well does the
parking brake work ? Is the parking brake adjusted properly as well ? Sounds
like it may be a combination of the two. First, make sure that the parking
brake is fully releasing, adjust if needed. Next, properly adjust the rear
shoes. To do this adjust the shoes until the wheel locks up, then back off
the adjuster antil you have a slight drag. Last, adjust the parking brake
cable, if needed.
