April 26, 201312 yr repaced whole hub parking brake, rear axle, ,all at one time , sounds like something rubbing while driving , are there adjustment ?
April 26, 201312 yr if a 95 is like an 03, there are star wheel adjusters. Look for an oval rubber plug in the backing plate. Pop it out, adjust the wheel down to loosen, UP to tighten the parking brake shoes. I pull the P-brake handle up to the first click, then tighten the star wheel till the wheel just locks. Do the other side, release/test the brake handle setting. Edited April 26, 201312 yr by 1 Lucky Texan
April 26, 201312 yr other possible sources of noise, if I understand what you did (not sure of what components you kept or swapped out), would be; backing plate rubbing on rotor bad/broken/rusty parking brake parts rotor wrong size for caliper caliper stuck on slide pins
April 26, 201312 yr often times the parking brakes are dragging inside the rotor. adjust it as he said. sometimes the inside of the rotors are so rusty that they really need pulled off and wire brushed. if the rotors sat for awhile unused then this starts sounding more likely. dust shields also rub. wheel bearing.
April 26, 201312 yr Author the wheel bearing was new in all parts, different hub, parking brake, same rotor axle, , car caught fire , so replaced all parts with used
April 27, 201312 yr rear drum , where is the adjustment atYou do have rear disc brakes right? If so, the parking brake drum adjustment access should look very similar to the pics in this post; http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2660325-post7.html there was a faint arrow embossed on our OBW's dust shield and I'm pretty sure UP tightens the shoes and down loosens them on both sides, yeah, one side seems to have a left-hand threaded component. I used a medium sized flat blade screwdriver to flip the wheel. and, info for the brake handle adjustment - but it's usually OK ;http://www.scoobymods.com/showthread.php/parking-brake-aka-e-brake-2779.html?t=2779 Edited April 27, 201312 yr by 1 Lucky Texan
April 27, 201312 yr There should be a bent screwdriver looking tool in your subaru tool bag. This is for adjusting the rear drums/ebrake shoes.
