Guessing what is wrong is going to cost you money that you don't need to spend. Since the shake happens when the brakes are applied then consider the following: Were the drums turned after installed on the hubs? If you got them already installed then did you have them turned before you installed them? Have you overheated the brakes since you installed the brakes?
the pressing of the drums on to the hubs is refering to the where studs go threw the drums were swedged from the factory. i belive the factory did this to keep the drum from falling off during assembly. once you take off that orignal drum then you need to clean up the studs around where the holes in the drum slip over. if you dont your drum may sit cock eyed on the studs. Is the shaking in the wheel or the brake pedal or the whole car
I'd have the drums turned out. if it's a shake/pulsation then chances are it's a brake issue and judging by the rest of the brake parts being new and replaced i would look into the drums themselves. turning drums/rotors is often overlooked when installing new brakes....
correct. this will ensure the 'turn' is true and will be straight and congruent with the alignment of the wheels bearings and their direction.... if that makes any sense, lol
ok, you guys are right. I had the drums turned, but the shop didn't do the front ones. They got in a mix up. Well, I tore it all apart and saw how the shoe pad was looking. Looked like tiger stripes. I figured they didn't turn my drums like they say they did. So I took them back and they turned them for free. And I put them on and it doesn't shake anymore. I swear, you have to hold these shops hands sometimes. Honest mistake though. At least they were nice and they fixed the problem. Glad it was that, cuz I was starting to worry about $$$$... Thanks guys for all the help. This forum rocks!!!
