Hmmm...this can't be right
I'm driving a 69 C10 P/U with a 350/TH350.
Drum brakes all around of course. I have re-done the front end. New ball joints, new bearings, new drums and brake shoes are about 3 months old. I've noticed an oscillation mainly in the right front during braking. I jacked up that wheel, and when I spin it...it seems the brake shoes drag more at one point. It is noticeable but not really bad. I checked the drums for out of round as best I could...they seem OK...but how much out of round is to much? The only "old" parts that got re-used were the backing plate and the hubs. I even changed out the brake cylinders on the wheels. Has anyboby ever had this problem? This is the first vehicle that I've driven since 1979 that had drum brakes all around. Is this just typical of problems with drum brakes? Is the only permanent solution to get the disc brake upgrade kit?? Jim Mt Juliet |
