two qustions about brakes 120-130

Hello all,

I have a couple of brakes questions. The last time I took my 1967 122S for a service, I was told that the rear brakes were adjusted about as far as they can go. What part will I be looking to replace and are there any recommendations apart from original Volvo parts?

Yesterday on the motorway I had the occasion to brake several times from about 70mph, and there was a noticeable pull to the left when the brakes were first pressed which required steering correction. It felt like the back-end was fish-tailing. Once the brakes were fully in the car levelled. Braking from lower speeds I didn't get the frightening wobble, but still got the pull.

I suppose that yesterday's display was a actual demonstration of what I had been shown by the mechanic.

Thanks a lot

Tom
