that does sound like rears :y

you know that the picture he posted is a toyota brake system right? :1

Re: Brakes are fucked up.
 

i would have the drums turned by someone who knows what they are doing, like a machine shop, you know the place the head that you sold me that ''had nothing wrong with it'' is gettin 3 bent valves and new guides installed at.


or maybe you should make sure the adjustment is good to go, say the new shoes for some reason doesn't stick out far enough and you aren't applying enough pressure to get a good, even clamping force which might cause vibration

same bolt pattern and approx depth. ive looked into this as theyre ribbed vents like gm likes to do vs solid.

Re: Brakes are fucked up.
 

I would either raplace those cheap shoes or sand the crap out of them. Make them look new again. You replace to parts and you have a bad vibration, and you have another set of drums and you still have the problem. I doubt you got another set of out of round drums even though they are probably cheap crap. I think its either your shoes or something you did putting them back in. Sand the ---- out of them. Sand them with a long piece of some rough grit sand paper like if you were shining a shoe (from end to end). Then rough up the drums again for break in. And how are you breaking in the brakes? I go 10mph then slow then 20 then slow, then 40, then slow then 50 then slow and so on if needed. YOu slow almost to a stop each time but dont totally stop. If they are bad again its you are the pads OR you need to kill the rear brakes all together by clamping them off on the hose part of the line then go brake on a safe road to make sure its not coming from the front.

PEACE!!!! :1

ill part out my '85 rear brakes to you. im going to part the truck

Re: Brakes are fucked up.
 

stop reading stoptech's breakin for disc brakes. Go back to H-T ::) Shoes willnot/ can not make a vibration.

Re: Brakes are fucked up.
 

Yes in a close minded brain your statement is true. Stuff has never surprised me with automotive. Think outside the box!!

Maybe he is not describing what is normally felt as a pulsation but more of a chatter or servere vibration. I think if he still has the problem he needs to clamp off the rear brakes and go test drive. THis will tell him if its coming out of the front or if he has a out of balance tire which he should feel anyways at higher speeds. Anyways sanding down the shoes is something simple he could try.
