Brake issues

I replaced my rear drums and brake shoes because the rear brakes grab if I step on the pedal hard. I also noticed the brakes would pulse like I had warped rotors. I have drums on front and back. I returned the drums and got new ones again but it's doing the same thing. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

sounds like you have the shoes backwards, the long shoes go in the back, if you already have them like that did you get a combi kit to replace all the springs?

Have the drums checked for out-of-round.

Today's brake parts are mostly off-shore junk. Also, when a drum box is thrown it may cause the drum to warp if it was in spec to start with.

Is the pulsation in the brake pedal, steering wheel or both?
