Hand Brake Question
Does the hand brake engage both rear wheels or just the right rear?
I just had some warranty work done and my right rear wheel is the only one that the hand brake is working on.
Thanks, I really need to know this answer....

It engages both wheels. Each rotor has a "drum" on the inside with a set of brake shoes. When you lift the E-Brake a cable expands the shoes into the drum. If every thing is adjusted properly......with the rear wheels off the ground and the e-brake set, both wheels should not turn.
