    Ok, So I am new here, I have read here a lot and got some great information. It's time I registered :D

    So I have had a brake shimmy in the front of my truck for a while. I resurfaced the rotors and then drove across country. It was fine for a while when I got to NC (From Oregon). The shimmy came back... So I said screw it, I replaced pads and shoes, I also got the rotors resurfaced and the drums resurfaced.

    I am going to see how it works or if there is an underlying issue. Anyway, to the problem. I get everything put back on and tightened up, I try and back it out of the shop, but it seems that there is an issue where the brakes are grabbing. I put it in reverse and it won't move. I give it gas and I hear a scarping from the front. I think it's the driverside. I jacked it up and looked again and I don't see anything rubbing.. I am thinking that it hasn't had the chance to auto adjust. Is there anything I can do? Any suggestions?

    Forget it, I figured it out, the Caliper was bad and the 3 of the 4 pistons were stuck... Tossed it and bought a new one. Works like a dream now :D
