I'd say that while that might be an acceptable statement to make with referance to a well used car being just fitted with new rear brake shoes, it certainly does not cut the mustard for someone driving a new car out of the showroom, any "bedding" of brakes if it was required, should have been done at the factory.silverhairs wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 11:50 am You have to remember, 95 BHP and under have brake drums at the rear, over that they have discs all round. Drums do take longer to bed in.
In other words, I've bought quite a few new cars with rear drum brakes and I've never ever needed to consider that I'd need to wait until the shoes/drums bedded in, basically the same when replacing the rear brake shoes, the biggest issue was always making sure that the auto adjust was in good working order and had sorted itself out after the new brake shoes were fitted.
