I do remember one time now that the passenger rear side did work. It was bad because it would adjust it too tight and would keep it up. One time it locked that tire up. That was fun trying to beat the hub off that time to loosen them back up. That was when the e-brake cables were hooked up on the original rear end. Since then its never done it again and everything is new, all hardware / springs / shoes / wheel cylinders / hard line from the proportional valve to the rear rubber brake hose.

Everytime I leave my house 90% of the time I have to back up and use the brake. So if they did work wouldnt that over adjust them?
