Hi Folks.
When I apply my brakes slightly, I've felt for a while that my brakes have
been grabbing, and it's proven to be once for each revolution of the
*wheels*. I put the rear up on stands, and found that it is coming from the
rear wheels (turning by hand showed the same resistance when the adjusters
were tightened). Yesterday, I ripped them apart to find evidence of the
cause. I found nothing more than pretty cruddy and slightly worn (not too
much) shoes, but no more wear in anyplace other than where it should be, and
quite uniformly around the drum, too.
Am I overlooking something, or is the cause simply a *very* slightly oblong
drum on one or both of the rear brakes? (corrected with a replaced drum)
Thanks,
