Default Re: brake noise..

The woven linings are generally used with steel drums.. Are the linings riveted tightly and evenly to the shoes and have the ends been chamfered ?? Has any glaze been sanded from the drums or were they turned and appear a bit rough ?? Springs around brake drums used to be fairly common, it was to stop harmonics/vibrations.. I guess I never knew for sure whether it really worked or not, I guess now I know..
