    If I put car in reverse and back up slowly will the brake shoes self adjust? Need a response. Thanks

    I always manually adjust for a smooth slip fit, then they will self adjust from there

    The u bolt was only used on the 8.2's originally, if there are threads in the hole then no it will use the straps and bolts
