Default Upgrades

After some trouble with rear brakes (left rear wheel locks up hard and badly) i´ve decided that my baby needed some brake works, i orderd brake shoes and all the small "things" inside the brake drum and of course new brakehoses (superlift bulletproof extended "my old ones were a little bit short") bought some copperlines just in case and while my wallet was open i bought energy suspension chassiemounts.
I replaced the hoses (no trouble and i replaced the brakelines on the rear axle "old ones were rusted") after that it was time to take a good look at the rear brakes, dissesembled them and found that some "mastermechanic" at some time put two primary brakeshoes on the left side and put two secondary on the right side, replaced the shoes and put everthing back together as it is supposed to be and they work ......... HAPPYDAYS!!!!!!!!!

Some pictures no1 brakehoses and chassiemounts, no2 brakeshoes and the "small things", no3&4 left and right side the wrong way and no5 making some new brakelines.....
