    Probably a cable or tensioner. Just work ur way back and see if anything looks werid. If not take the wheels off and check the adjuster inside the Drum

    If u can recreate the situation in a safe way and look under the truck maybe you'll see what the deal is

    I trussed mine. Don't think it was necessary but I had it out. Just take your time. They are easy to warp. And that axle will hold up fine.

    When I did mine, I painted the inside. Shouldn't fade that way being pretty sealed up.

    I found this paint that was a very close match a few years ago. It has a fine texture to it. I have not been able to find the exact color again in stores though. I painted my sub box with it, you can see that in my build thread.
