Default Are these car brakes worn?

However the point is well made that about 60% of the car weight tends to
transfer to the front under braking. for a 50/50 split before. So rear
wheels locked is never going to be that brilliant.


Oh, spins I can do. Just not in that axis I know my wife's car
(tall, short hatchback) will just lock the rears, no oscillation;
mine's lower and longer so I have no doubt it will do the same.
