It’s possible. I didn’t pay any attention to the alignment of the rear brakes when I put it back together last night. Just wanted to get it going and put away. Those oval rear pads got put on within the first few years I had it, and I didn’t even ask to have it done. I’ve tried many adjustments over the years but they’ve never been as firm and solid as the front block pads. Like they’re a softer material perhaps.
