breaking in new drum brakes?
i finally got around to putting new drums, hardware, and shoes on my
escort. the right side went swimmingly. the left side dragged a bit at one point in the rotation no matter what i tried. i took the car for a test drive and it feels fine. i hear a light rushing sound from the rear when i use the brakes (doesnt really bother me. doesnt sound bad. im sure there is a little wearing-in even with all new parts). however, im wondering whether this slight drag (out of true drum?) is going to be a problem. there is no noise, that i can hear easily, anyway. even if it does accelerate wear, i would guess the parts will outlast the car, as i think it's going to be junkyard parts within four months. this is all new to me, obviously enough. any words of wisdom? i could always bring the drum back to autozone, but id have to find that receipt, and another trip, and ... etc etc thanks anthony |
