Last week I had an awful graunching noise from one rear break drum. When I pulled the disk I found both springs that pull the shoes to the back plate were floating indide the drum, twisted up.
I cleaned the inside of the drum with my Dremel, fitted new shoes and adjusted them to my Bentley manual. The disk is worn right to the min thickness.
Having just driven the car it's done exactly the same thing again! Arrrrrrrgh!
I'm reasoning that the drum could be worn rippled and oversize, allowing the shoes to bind and twist?
My plan is to fit a pair of new disks, re-adjust the shoes and cross my fingers!
Any thoughts please?
