Re: What's up with my brakes????

A squeal is a high speed vibration or chatter. Super suggestions above. Can you see any evidence of the brake shoe frame contacting the drum like DKD mentions above? I would doubt you are getting the squeal from the shoe lining and drum. I always lube the raised pads on the backing plate. You could try replacing the brake shoes. Use quality material. I would not turn the drums at this point. They look OK plus they are rare. I scuff them up with some 36 grit and stop easy for a few days. Never had a problem with that method. If you do what I just mentioned, don't glaze the shoes by stopping to hard with all that weight. Stop very easy for about a week. I just did this on my CJ and the brakes work very well.

So... What they said...LOL
