I have replaced the rear drums and pads on my 96. They were good for a short time and the shake returned. I took the drums and had them turned. The man that did it said there was one that had a hard spot in one of them and had to turn it down quite a bit.

They were good for a while and now it's back. I do some towing and use the brakes for a good distance because of the terrain of our driveway which is long and I am assuming that they are heating way up.

My question is: Does anyone have a source or idea of some high quality drums or heavy duty ones that will take the abuse? The ones described were the low cost aftermarket ones from Advance Auto. Perhaps I should look into their higher cost lifetime units?

Thanks for any ideas...

 

Try partsguyed.com for OEM ones, also try egrbrakes.com and maybe even consider a disc brake conversion.

 

i get all my stuff from napa. if it does do it again, just take em up there and they will warranty them out and mark it as a defect after you tell them what happened.
