I snipped the whole thing, sorry. The wedge of which we're speaking is
DIRECTIONAL. It has a bump on the wide end that prevents it from
slipping down too far. Be sure it's in right. I "think" the bump faces
the backing plate, but I don't have a car here to look at, and the
picture in the Rabbit book is unclear. It should be obvious, as the
part it contacts is not there on the other side. However, the original
description of the problem makes it sound to me as if there may be a
parts problem, or maybe a drum diameter issue. There are 3 or 4 sizes
of shoes and drums in the
Rabbit/Golf/Jetta/Passat/Quantum/Dasher/Fox/4K/5K/et.al. group. Maybe more.
