Re: Locked Up and Sideways

Welcome to the wonderful world of drum brakes!!!

It's not only a front vs rear problem. If the shoes aren't adjusted perfectly, the right front can grab harder than the left front, or vice-versa. Once you've driven a modern vehicle, these old drum brake vehicles are an adventure. i don't drive my truck the same way I drive modern vehicles. I never get close behind anyone, and I'm a lot more careful and watchful of other vehicles. My drum brakes function normally...the technology is just not up to modern standards.
