Had occasion to change my rear disk's (rotors) this weekend, when i took the first one off the friction linings on BOTH Handbrake shoes were totally detached at one end, i touched one and it fell off - the other wasnt far behind....

I took the other Disk off...and one of the friction linings fell out of the back....

I hadnt noticed anything weird etc so i guess they were sitting where they should purely by habbit!

it cant be good for the MPG and i suspect it could be downright anoying if they jambed up (if not dangerous)

This was on a 95 car and i suspect they were original...it may be worth checkign yours (it IS a bit of a pain as you have to remove the rear wheel, unbolt the caliper and remove the disk to check!, tip wind the adjuster on the brake shoe fully in BEFOR removing the disk to make it easy - and adjust it back afterwards!)
