The rear Brakes of my car were pulsing (I have already done a complete front
brake job). I changed the drums, but not the shoes as they still look good.
I sanded them a bit. With the new drums the brakes went from pulsing to
vibrating. Today I jacked the car up and made the hubs spin with the engine.
There is little to no side to side movement but definitely a bit of up and
down movement on the outside edge of the hubs. There is little play in the
bearings. . The vibrating seems to get worse as the car is driven. Do I just
need new shoes or could axle runout be an issue? I have worked on these
models for 25 years and never encountered this problem...
Thanks
