The 1976 Chevrolet Camaro uses front disc and rear drum brakes to stop. The front disc brakes adjust automatically when you stop the car. The rear drum brakes do not adjust automatically and slowly get further and further out of adjustment as they wear, if you don't adjust them. Fortunately, the rear brake adjustment procedure for the 1976 Camaro is a simple one that any safe driver can perform in a few minutes or less.
