Car rocks after applying hand brake

It ‘ont sounds right

Don’t recall my old one ever doing that...seems like it stayed put

Park brake adjustment screws are behind rear wheels...in rotor holes (I think), been a while since I’ve had one apart; planning to be disassembling one by Christmas Holidays

There is a hole in the rear drum. May or may not have a rubber plug in it. Shine a light in and you'll see a little star nut adjuster sitting perpendicular to the opening in the drum. Use a flathead screwdriver to adjust the tension in the parking brake. Click the adjuster down to tighten the parking brake and up to loosen it. Tighten it all the way and then back it off a few clicks.

There is a star wheel inside the disc rotor to adjust the parking braking. When I installed my long wheel studs. I adjusted my parking brake.
