Posted October 17, 20204 yr comment_608183 Have replaced all rear brake components and now seem to get squealing from rear brake shoes. Any suggestions on a cure? Seem to be able to hear it right before you come to a stop. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64570-1972-240z-rear-brake-squeal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 17, 20204 yr comment_608241 How many miles have you put on since replacing? Have you gone back and double checked everything is installed and adjusted properly?

October 17, 20204 yr comment_608244 You could try taking them off and sanding, filing or someway removing the burnt layer of the shoes. You most likely have overheated the rears by pulling the E-brake up and locking in all that heat after a spirited drive. Unless you are on a hill I suggest not using the E-brake.

October 17, 20204 yr comment_608246 Don't overlook the backing plate maybe rubbing on the drum. The bottom edge tends to get bent. More of a grindy squeal.
