South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I drove from Raleigh to Charlotte after adjusting my drums, smelled hot brakes but didn't think much of it, the next day the passenger drum was locked to the shoes. No warping or noises after freeing it up and replacing melted wheel seal. I know it's only one instance

 

No smells here. I shot each drum with the laser after a drive home today and they were both the same temperature and well under a concerning number. New drums were put on less than a year ago, so wondering if it was warped out of the box, and just now has worn down enough of the brake shoe to make the noticable noise.

 

Swap sides?

 

If the shoes aren't worn all funky, thats a good test. Hoping i can just see clear evidence when I pull the drum.

 

if it was a warped rotor. You would have some braking vibration, especially in your seat area. You would feel it the most could be a bad wheel bearing

 

So the spurlock reccomennded course of action would be to replace rhe bearings and seals, and just inspect the brakes as I tear it all down?

 

Yea Yeah
