Good morning all - newbie here. I have a 2005 Neon SXT and need to do the rear brakes. I had them dome 2 years ago by a "smaller" shop and they just haven't been right. One side drags and they seem soft. My neighbor is a retired mechanic, he pulled the drums and said the wrong shoes were put in. They are too narrow, but the right size in general. I looked at an on-line catalog and there are a few different options and sizes for the rear drums and shoes. Q: How can I identify what I should have? So I can get the correct parts for the car. If by VIN # , how do i go about that? Do I need to take them off and measure something? I just want the OEM correct parts (shoes and drums).
Any input is greatly appreciated. JD
