Should the rear brakes have a slight rub when you turn each rear wheel ? I believe I correctly adjusted with a feeler gauge to .8 mm but I do get a rub when I spin the wheel... that does not seem right with the parking brake off
Thanks in advance for any comments |

After you adjust, go for a quick drive and then check the wheel rub. The pistons need to cycle though a couple times after you adjust them.
