    Rear Brakes Dragging

    Hi Guys.

    New to the forum driving an '88 SWB TB in QLD, hoping to one day drop a TD in. I'm having issues with my rear brakes dragging to the point that the rear wheels are too hot to touch after anything longer than a drive to the shops. I've checked that the guide pins are free and can't imagine it has anything to do with ceased pistons on either caliper since both sides are getting equally hot. Neither of the front brakes seem to be having any issues.

    I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how they have fixed it? Could my brake bias be set too far to the rear or is it more likely that my master cylinder is bad?

    Cheers.

    Hey mate thanks for the welcome. As far as I know it's only got a 2" lift. Hardware on the proportioning valve looks to be factory. Does the spring on the valve under more stretch mean more rear brake?
