I did a complete brake job a while back on my car. The brakes are OK but not what I feel as 100%. I installed new wheel cylinders, brake shoes, master cylinder. The drums measure out at 3/32" oversize on the left rear and 1/16" oversize on the right rear. I have pressure bled the brakes a few times so I'm sure that I don't have air in the system, I also adjust them to a light drag before I bleed them. When I pulled the rear drums the other day I see that my shoes are making poor contact. Just looking for some opinions but I think I am going to need to replace the drums. Thanks for taking a look.
