MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT YOU ARE TAKING FOR GRANTED?
LOOK AT THE WEAR PATTERNS ON THE LININGS, MAYBE ONE OF THE DARN SHOES ARE SLIGHTLY "TWISTED"???
MAYBE IT'S A COMBINATION OF A BEARING NOT SPINNING ON A TRUE AXIS AND THE BRAKE LININGS NOT MAKING 100% CONTACT ALL OF THE TIME WITH THE DRUMS
MAYBE THERE IS JUST SOMETHING YOU ARE TUNNEL VISIONED ON, THE VIDEOS I SENT MAY MAKE YOU "CATCH" SOMETHING YOU HAVE DISREGARDED
I TOO, HAVE "SOME" FORMAL TYPE AUTO REPAIR/ MACHINE SHOP TRAINING. I HAVE PICKED UP MOST OF WHAT I KNOW FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE. I AM PRETTY GOOD AT TROUBLESHOOTING MECHANICAL STUFF....I TRY NOT TO GET LOCKED IN ON ONE AVENUE OF APPROACH......I'VE WORN SEVERAL "DIFFERENT HATS/ HELMETS" ALONG THE WAY ...I AM NOW, BY TRADE, A PLUMBER
MOST OF MY EXPERIENCE IS "HANDS ON" W/ JEEP CJs---I REALLY GET EXCITED AIDING THEM---FEW COME ABOARD, AS THEY SELDOM BREAK AND ARE THE BEST MACHINE EVER INVENTED BY MAN!
I DO THIS MAINLY FOR THE "HELPING FACTOR", AND AS SLOW AS I AM TYPING AND PUTTING TOGETHER INFO, I COULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE A LIVING ANSWERING QUESTIONS....JUST ONE EXAMPLE BELOW, THIS GUY IS 18, WORKS FOOD SERVICE AT A HOSPITAL

I'M NOT DOUBTING YOUR ABILITIES, YOU MAY BE WAY MORE QUALIFIED THAN I
I WISH OUR SITE WOULD "PROMPT" ALL OF YOUR VEHICLE'S NOMENCLATURE (TO INCLUDE ENGINE SIZE) AND MAYBE A 1-10 SCALE OF PEOPLES ABILITIES AND USE OF TOOLS, SUCH AS A VOLTMETER.
WE TRY TO HELP PEOPLE WHO BARELY KNOW HOW TO PUMP GAS, ALL THE WAY THRU ROCKET SCIENTISTS.....I ATTEMPTED TO "PROMPT" OWN MY OWN (IF YOU CLICK ON MY AVATAR), JUST SO I MIGHT KNOW "WHOM I'M DEALING WITH"....INSTEAD OF APPROACHING FROM A "KINDERGARTEN LEVEL" EACH TIME I ANSWER SOMEONE......MOST OF THE TIME MY EFFORTS ARE OVERLOOKED
I JUST TRY TO HELP TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, SLINGING OUT OPTIONS, EVEN IF THEY MIGHT SEEM STUPID. I SEE TOO MANY PEOPLE "GIVE UP".
THE COOL THING ABOUT CONTINUING TO PURSUE A SOLUTION HERE IS, OTHERS ARE READING THIS AND DO JUMP IN AND OFFER THEIR IDEAS AS WE GO.
AS IT STANDS NOW, TWO VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE GUYS (FROM THE BEGINNING) ARE GETTING AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION EACH TIME YOU, I, AND ANYONE ELSE JUMPS IN AND ANSWERS.....THEY DO RETURN AS THINGS PROGRESS OR THEY COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS!
I AM VERY HARDHEADED MYSELF, I DO ANYTHING TO NOT HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO DO MY FIXES.....I DO THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE ASKING FOR AN ANSWER HERE......I GRASP FOR STRAWS, UNTIL EVERY OPTION IS EXHAUSTED!
KEEP DIGGIN'---KEEP US INFORMED!
