new axles DO have self adjusting brakes. they adjust on FORWARD stopping, unlike old school drum brakes that only adjusted in reverse. Knowing that I can see where this is plausible.

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand this explanation. With the wheels basically spinning backward all the time, the only time the brakes would self-adjust was when you backed up, in reality rolled forward with respect to proper orientation. It would seem to me that the brakes would rarely self-adjust and wouldn't tighten up to cause drag. What am I mis-understanding?
I'm leaning towards the somebody spouting gibberish to CYA.
