Hi stephanie
if you have shoes then most likely you need to have the brake drums machined cost about 5 dollars at oriely or parts store.


however if you have disc brakes maybe more probs.
but since your post said shoes and not pads we will have to go with turn drums.

also there is a metal plate called a backing plate sometimes this gets bent and will rub on the drums.
