Good call on George's problem.

Do the Wagons & sedan's have different compensator systems? Or am I not
doing it precisely. On my 1987 XN6 sedan, the compensator is in front of
the differential and has a lever to which you attach an 11 pound weight
and adjust the valve. Then, based on relative brake pad wear or braking
characteristics you can tweak it more or less.

Wouldn't this imply to much rear braking? I've generally gotten the
impression that a set of rear shoes/pads should wear at about 1/2 the
rate of the front pads. (???)
