Re: Squealing Brake

When you did the initial brake job did you happen to look at the condition of the braking surface of the drum? Was there and discoloration or glazing to the surface. I normally will scuff the surface of the drum with emery paper to break up any glazing. Also are all the contact points on the backing plate smooth and even? I have experienced myself where a groove has been worn over time and has caused the shoe to cock nad not making proper contact. I hope this helps you.


Also the shoes that we offer are like packard originally designed them with chamfers on both end and as for the discoloration in the shoe after inspection that could be impurities picked from either leftover brake fuild or grease that has soaked into the braking surface of the brake drum.

Thanks
