    So my neighbor wanted to RR/Rebuild front/rear suspension stock 09 Silverado

    months ago bought (pretty much) the highest level of parts from RA

    he has mech friend, and after month or so went to his place(I went as well)

    installed UCA’s/LCA’s/loaded strut/inr/otr ties/bolt on front bearings/pads.(F & R) as well as rotors and drums

    took 1/2 day
    Good day

    upon driving back home
    Horrible vehicle shudder coming from rear

    I expressed my opinion about a thread I read about ‘new AM drums’ being warped from storage at a warehouse.
    Both neighbor/mechanic said no way…….thought was P brake adjustment……next week adjusted the same
    Still this bad shuddering persisted.

    I again(GM Owners) explained that thread. Told them that TW member actually put his old drums back on…..then perfect/no shuddering.

    they listened. We put on old drums….perfect.

    UGH
    Just want to state……

    If you buy AM drums…..just be prepared for 1)a return to vendor 2)$30 a drum (Oriellys) to resurface
