Help! Today I installed new Napa Reactive One rear rotors and Adaptive One ceramic pads. Had a hard time getting off the old rotors due to the Ebrake shoes. Lots of prying and tapping with a brass hammer finally got them off. New rotors slid on pretty easy. Now I'm hearing a rubbing noise from rear wheels at 20-30 mph and when turning corners. Any ideas what to check? How do you check correct setting for e-brake. Will be replacing fronts next week. Just joined forum, haven't completed my profile. This is a 05 Liberty Renegade. Steve

Sounds like the parking brake I'd take the drum rotors back off and inspect. When off if good back off on the star adjuster reinstall then adjust them. Prying to get the rotors off without backing off on the star adjuster sure didn't do them any good.

Problem solved. When I got time today I took everything apart and found I had bent a small area of the rim of the support plate in the same place on both sides. It was rubbing on the back of the new rotors. Also backed off the e-brake shoes. Thanks for the suggestions. Steve
