Re: Brake Noise & Fading

Don't know about the noise but there have been some articles saying most newer brake linings are softer and somewhat more sensitive to fade than the older asbestos type. If that is correct there could be a heat build up issue with the old brake drums where ventilation was not something they worried about or at least was not very well implemented. Another consideration if the shoes were not arced is the linings could be making contact on a relatively small area which could make any fade caused by heat build up issues worse.
