Well Ive just had to dish out $600 on brakes today... new discs pads and something else (Waiting to see the bill as wife took it there)...
SO, the front are working more than rear's..
How do I adjust it back?
Also is there anywhere round Melb, that you can take ya car to test all 4 wheels to see which are working at what %age?
EG
Left Rear V Left front
Left Rear V Right Rear
??

fronts always work harder than rears.. when you brake, the weight of the car goes on the front wheels..

Normal for a hard driven auto to wear brakes quickly. Also depends on what kind of pads were fitted too.
You will have to give brakes a week to bed in before checking bias. This would not of changed anyway unless rod mount damaged or moved.
Call back in a week .
