Stock 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440/727 with disks up front and drums in the rear.
When braking at ~ 40mph plus the rear end pulls to the right side instead of going straight.
The car WOULD get away from me when hard braking at higher speeds.
I've never worked on brakes.
How can i figure out what's wrong?
How likely is it that only the rear drum brakes need adjusting/service?
I have no idea how they work, though. (Need to look it up)
What exactly does the proportioning valve do?
Does it only regulate the front/rear or also left/right brake power?
Yes, i will take a look in the service manual aswell.
I THINK the shop that did the necessary work to register the car in germany (back when i bought it) replaced the brake hoses
but i will check if they look old or new as i read somewhere they can restrict flow when they age which you can't tell from the outside.
To me it looks like the driver side drum brake isn't as effective as the passenger side.
But i'm not 100% sure and i have no idea why.
