Re: 5ktq rear brake problems

["Larry Mormino" <mormino@lynxus.com>]

My 89 200t has the reverse problem; the fronts appearantly have stopped
working. I think this because of the dust on the wheels. It used to be that
the fronts would get dirty and the rears would stay clean. Now the fronts
stay clean and the rears get black. Could this be the proportioning value?
Where is it located? Is it fit by replace or adjust/clean? Larry
