Subject:replacing rear brakes on 80 vanagon
From:Chris Gkikas
Date:Tue, 4 Jan 2000 10:49:31 -0500

Hello!
I'm beginning to experience alot of shuddering and squealing (sharp
whistles upon braking) when I hit the brakes on my 80 Vanagon.  I had
the whole front brake setup replaced and spent an absurd amount of money
($615).  This time, knowing what I know now, I'm gonna do them myself.
Any suggestions on how to go about determining what my problem is, and
what I should look for as far as parts goes?
Thanks,
Chris
