only so you guys knwo everything thats going on. i wasnt sure if it was significant or not. there is a CEL but we have got it scanned twice now and both times it said the same. somethign going on with the EGR system. but anyways any ideas on where to start with this? she has the extra warranty thing from the dealer she got it from. shes only had the car just over 2 years

there is no smoke from what i can see. its almost certain she has a bad EGR valve. dont know if that contributes to anything. and putting in thicker oil wont hurt it at all? im in adrian MI and the temperature has been around 50-70 degrees everyday

i didnt check for rust. the drums are extremely rusty though. to the point where i wanna replace them. so that is possible. and now that think about it there may be a bottom adjuster as well. can there be two? cuz it looked like my shoes were wearing more at the top and at a slant. i might be seeing things tho. they arent even a week old yet.

there wasnt anything on the bottom that looked like an adjuster. the piece you see on the top by the blue spring and with the red spring attached was the adjuster. the drum fits on there nice and snug. i had a decently hard time wigling the drum back onto the hub. so i dont think its an adjustment issue. im gonna change the brake fluid tomorrow but idk if i should bleed all the wheels or just chage the master cylinder. which do you recommend?

alright. now are you talking about a total fluid change or just the master cylinder fluid?

it only firms up to that half way point where the car actually starts slowing down

you know the pedal does not firm up when i repeatedly push the pedal with the car off. does that point to what the problem is?
