I hate to start another thread on this, but I already have my comments of my problems in too many threads.
I still have heat in my rear right drum, which causes a vibration on long drives, as the temperature rises.
A short back history: changed rear axle bearings last fall couldn't adjust my axle play, too loose. Jump to this summer, realized my brake shoes were reversed on the right rear. I corrected that problem. At the same time I realized I could now adjust my axle play. I did not actually check the gap just backed the ring off a 1/4 turn from a tight position.
Jump to today, my situation is definitely better, but still getting hot especially on a rough road.
Did I possibly change one source of the heat for another? First from the reversed shoes and now possibly from too tight of my axle play?
