Hello all Justy fans ! I finally found a nice group of people who is talking almost nothing but about Justys . Very usefull reading. Now i have one question. On my 91 Justy SII with 203000km i noticed that if i brake with handbrake at slow speed (well, i just tested this way, of course i usually brake with a pedal;)) rear ends slighty flips to one side. This hapens even more noticeably on gravel and especially on snow even if i am braking with pedal. So i thougt that is something wrong with rear brakes. But on tests it has shoved up that brakes are normaly balanced. So what could be wrong? Maybe something with suspension?

you mite have a brake problem....or you mite be discovering the law of physic....;D
wen braking "whit the pedal" if your brakes are working , usualy you get much more power up front wish result in weigt shifting...
this mean that your car weigt is goin to the front (front going down)....so your rear end is kind of lifting (rear end up)...wish result in less grip for your rear tires...this is a thecnique race car dirver use to put there car side ways....
on the justy it is VERY noticable if you drive a litle sporty....this car is very easy to put sideway by left foot braking....even dowshifting will do it. the justy brake are very efficient on this ligth weigth car....even for rallying the stock brake are more then we need.

I would say that one rear brake is working better than the other. Check/replace shoes and or drums.
Edit: I should have read all of your post before responding.

The rear suspension causes some weird things to happen when it gets worn.
Mine had worn struts and the rear wheels would lock up under normal braking. If I was in gravel or sand the car would skid sideways. Changed the two rear struts and everything was Ok.
