I'm interested in learning if anyone has found an answer to the rear brake shoes not wearing out. My 2003 Venture has gone through one set of brake pads in 40k miles. I hear a lot of noise when we come to a stop (my wife drives it 99% of the time). Today, the front brakes made an awful deep groan after driving downhill. The front brakes were extremely hot vs. the rear drums being totally cool. I took a look at the rear brake shoes and they are practically new. It worries me obviously.
Thanks.
