I just did a brake job an my Taurus. I bought new rotor and drums from my local parts store. When adjusting the rear brakes it seems the new drums are not true out of the box. You can here that they are lop-sided when trying to adjust. The new drums and rotors pulsate worse than my original ones. Do new rotors and drums need to be turned before installing?
