True but I think I got them from AZ down the street so how good could the be 
I got them maybe 6 or 7 years ago but only on the road 5 years.
I had a new wheel cly leak just sitting as I was rebuilding the truck and they were name brand.
I changed them both out for a different brand, no leaks so far.

The sleeve adjusts pre-load on the pinion bearings.
You adjust where the pinion rides on the ring gear with shims on the pinion shaft.
To adjust the back lash you adjust the carrier / ring gear left or right with shims. The carrier shims also adjust preload on the carrier bearings.
Oh it is a lot of fun setting up axle gears
If you turn 1 side do both.
That drum could be moving the shoes in and out of backing plate grooves

I thought I posted why
Even in the rear you get one side grabbing differently and it can cause a pull when braking.
If you are doing anything on a axle with brakes do both sides to keep it the same.
Unless you need to get out of the way of a land slide or flash flood, then slap it together and make hast!

I would only turn drums that need it. The rear brakes are adjustable so that doesn't come into play. The only difference might be in more friction on one side, but if there's that much difference you'd be turning both drums. If one drum is still smooth why turn it?

Funny story, that's something my son taught me when he was working at Advance Auto Parts before collage. I'm sure it was part of corporate sales training. But, he's also the 13y/o that said to me once, "Dad, it's not about what you need, it's about what you want".

Drums can go out of round from excessive braking heat. Do you have an automatic transmission and live in a mountainous area? They can go out of round from just hard use. I'm not sure just parked will put them out of round. Glad you got it fixed!

Hmm, well, it spent most of it's life in Nevada.
now, on the East Coast, i don't think it has had them heating up.
maybe a flat spot might batter describe it.
I'm not sure, since the shop used generic oval as the term a O'Reillys.
Off-topic, do you think a transfer case **** from a 1991 will fit my clunker? I know that the pattern isn't exact, but it is just fitment I care about. There seems to be more out there from 91 up.

If you're asking about the shifter **** some are threaded and some splined held on with epoxy. If shopping used try to stay with the same transfer case. Might find a **** on eBay?

If yours is splined and you find one that is threaded just just run a tap down on the splines and thread on the new ****.
My NP435 was splined but did not have a **** but the T18 **** was threaded but a mess.
I fixed the **** by filling it with JB Weld and let it harden really good.
I drilled & tapped the **** for the threads I tapped the NP435 stick to.
The **** was not finished so I put a bolt with the head cut off and chucked it up in my drill press.
With it spinning I was able to dress it with sand paper, a coat of paint and was good a new.
BTW there are web sites with different shift ***** just Google it
