Is there an adjustment on the back drums and if so how do you do it? What would cause the spongee feel and lack of stopping ability? There are no leaks. thanks in advance john dmac0923 Enthusiast Apr 8, 2009, 4:10 PM Post #2 of 3 (2028 views) Re: brakes Sign In there will be a small oval shaped opening usually with a rubber plug in it. pop out the plug and youll see the adjusting star wheel. you can adjust the shoes that way. if they are way out of adjustment you could be seeing a low pedal __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Apr 8, 2009, 5:08 PM Post #3 of 3 (2025 views) Re: brakes Sign In There's a difference between a spongy pedal and a low pedal. If it's truly 'spongy', then the brake hydraulic system has air in it and needs to be bled; If it's just a low pedal, follow dmac's recommendation.
