Bright Eyes (1934) An orphaned girl is taken in by a snobbish family at the insistence of their rich, crotchety uncle, even as her devoted aviator godfather fights for custody.
A loose parking brake is another symptom of bad or failing brake shoes. For vehicles equipped with drum brakes, the brake shoes are what hold the vehicle in place when the brake is engaged. If the shoes become worn or dusty, they may not be able to hold the weight of the vehicle without slipping.
Due to more brake friction surface area with Drum Brakes when compared with Front Discs, rear brake shoes rarely require replacement - just an inspection and adjustment. Without this adjustment, the front brakes may wind up doing all the work ... noticeable by a slight 'nose dive' during hard stops.
