squalling drum brakes
Hey guys, me and my dad just replaced the wheel cylinders and brake shoes on the front brakes of my 72 f100 but the passenger side squalls when i stop. this happens most in the morning when i'm on my way to class or sometimes when im leaving (around 11). i took the hub off to look but there's no dirt on the inside of the hub but the front shoe is smooth on top and bottom but still looks new in the middle...any ideas? i dont think we replaced the wheel cylinder on that side, as it still looks old. anybody know of a temp. fix til i can get home this weekend?

Squalls ?
A Squall has to do with wind.(the irony is your hurricane user name )
Do you mean "squeals" ?
Squealing brakes can be caused by a few things.
First.... are you sure the shoes are installed correctly?
Primary shoe vs secondary shoe.
The Primary shoe is the one with the longer amount of lining on it and should be mounted towards the rear.
