brake drum noise?

[theone]

I did a search and the results were only mentioning swapping to disc rear brakes. My passenger rear drum shoes are rubbing against the backing plate. I have replaced the drum and it went away. 10 days later i hear it creeping back. The shoes are about 9 monthes old and in great condition. as i come to a stop i hear it so the noise is a slight rubbing, right as I come to a stop. Not the entire time I am braking.

I can see where the rubbing is taking place but not sure what I can do to alleviate the problem. Little bit of grease??

any help would be greaaaat.

TIA

Go to your nearest auto store (NAPA has it for $3) and pick up a tube of high temperature grease. Put it on the edges of the shoes or smear some on the baking plate.

ok thanks.

Applying grease to brake parts!? Better use it sparingly and away from the shoe braking surfaces.

This raises more questions in my mind.........

Is the rubbing sound as it rolls round and round? Or as the brakes go in and out with pressure?

Did you have the drums turned or replaced 9 months ago when it got new brakes?

Was that a DYI job or pro done?

When you replaced the drum, did you also replace the shoes?

Was this a DYI job or pro done?

At any rate - brakes are too important to be half-way done. I suggest taking it to a qualified shop.

I'm not saying to slop it on all over the place but a little dab of high temp brake grease on the contact points of where it's rubbing.

I dont think grease would be applied to the shoe or the drum. there is a slight bend in the rear plate that is slighty touching, thus creating the rubbing as the brake is applied harder for stopping.

thanks for the additional input.

Got the above PM from the OP....... Does not sound like grease will help with a rotating rub...... Like I said more questions needed to be asked.....

More like fixing whatever is bent needs to happen.........

Since when does Private (keyword!!) messaging get cut n pasted into the topic? I think you need an update on forum ethics rookie.


Crewzin offered advice, a reccomendation NOT a direct order to slap grease all over the place. Advice has been taken.

thanks
