Did you have the drums turned. There is usually a ridge on the inside of the drum caused by wear the needs to be machined.

What does it mean when the ABS light on a 1994 Ford Explorer is coming on and staying on as well as when the brakes are applied the vehicle also feels like it wants to go?
the abs light means you have a problem in your brake system it also means get it to a shop and have it fixed before the brakes fail and you are in a wreck as for feeling like it wants to go when the brakes are applied that in itself tells you there is a problem if the brakes are inadequate while stopped, how is it going to stop you in an emergency
Brakes work going backwards better than going forwards?
If your brakes work going backwards better than forwards, you should replace your front brakes. You can get your rotors turned to save time, as well.
What could cause your brakes to go out quickly?
I know on Jeeps they use a soft rotor supposedly to quiet the brakes. The average mileage for their rotors is supposed to be around 13,000. I changed my rotors and have not had this problem since and I'm going on 30,000.

How do you adjust brakes?
Disc brakes dont need to be adjusted and all drum brakes are self-adjusting unless you have an antique..lol...if it is a newer vehicle and you think the rear drum brakes need adjusting then it is a good possibility that the self-adjuster isn't functioning properly. Try making a few hard stops going backwards on pavement as this may help. If it doesn't then take your vehicle to a qualified technician and let them handle it. If it is an older vehicle(referring to something that would be an antique with either 4 or 2 wheel drum brakes) then there should be a slot in the backing plate for you to adjust them. All you would have to do is get an adjuster(found at a local automotive store) place it in the slot and turn the star wheel downwards to tighten(use the opposite if the slot is in the drum and not the backing plate) do this until you feel slight resistance when you turn the drum.
How do you adjust the clutch on a 1996 ford escort diesel?
The 1996 Ford Escort had a self-adjusting system. If pushing on the pedal will not solve the problem, you are most likely going to need to change the ratchet system in the pedal.

What is wrong if the rear brakes do not seem to be catching on a 1998 Nissan 240SX after having the brakes changed?
Usually after brakes are changed, it takes time for it to break in. So the brakes wont be as "grippy" as before. If that does not solve your problem, then it might be because of air bubbles in the brake lines. Try bleeding the system. If that doesn't solve your problem, then it could be a problem with your calipers. You can fix it, but most people just get another one from the junk yard. Takes less time and it's cheap too. I was going to say it could be the master cylinder, but it wouldn't be. Because 240sx has a diagonal braking system. Which means if one cylinder fails then you would still have brakes in front right and rear left OR vice versa.
