no im just wondering if they make like a squeaking noise when they get hot, i installed brakes a few months ago and i never had problems with them making noise tell recently now when i step on the braked they make a loud squealing noise and i can figure out what it is it doesn't look like my drums need to be machined but maybe they do, i know that the bearings need to be replaced but im just trying to figure this out

brakes
New brake shoes & pads are made of non asbestos. They tend to make more noise than the old asbestos. I have it on my 74 ford Maverick with all drums, 89 Bronco IIwith discs. My son has the prblem on his 01 Explorer. There is special silcone grease for disc brake slider pins & some coatings that may help the disc brakes. Nothing for the drum brakes that I know. I doubt if it is a bearing problem. You would have noise when not braking & more pronounced on the side turned into.
