To answer the obvious question that I left out of the first email. I am not
feeling pulsating as I drive my car. The brakes were supposedly replaced right
before I bought the car 3 years ago (roughly 1000 miles ago). When I rebuilt
the front end (kingpins, bushings, etc) and the braking system (MC, flex lines,
and some hard lines) the front brakes were indeed new, so I am assuming that at
least the back shoes are new (doubtful on the drums).
I had the B parked on a slight hill and I started rolling backward (with the
emergency brake set) and then I could feel the shoes catching. This reminded
me of when, right before storage I was adjusting the rear brakes with the
adjusting screws and the wheels would spin for a few inches and then "grab".
This is why I believe the drums to need to be replaced.
I haven't taken anything apart yet, as my car is in storage about 2 hours away
where I have only basic hand tools. Next time I go to drive the car I am going
to take a jack and investigate the brakes.
Thank you guys again, I was really trying to find out if the shoes and drums
are replaced at the same time.
