Hi everyone and thanks for taking a look...
I have a 1991 5.0 GT V8 Automatic :banghead: . I have had a few problum with my "new car" (for me) and most have been resolved. There is about 110,000 miles on it, and it has seen alot of road. The right rear drum brake makes a horriable squeek almost every time I engage the brakes. They look to be the stock ones so I figure there pretty worn.
I have done a few brake stand burn outs so test it a little. And the right rear is the only wheel spining. I guess the brake dosnt even work... Should I completly disable it or something.... I dont know what to do about it. This is my everyday travel car so I want it to be safe... and Pleasent to drive. So I'de rather I have brakes, but breaks that dont squeek.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Pull the drum off and inspect it. You probably need shoes and might need a new drum. Its good practice to do both sides at the same time.
