Okay, 68 C10 Shortbed Fleetside...not that any of that matters...

Front Driver's Wheel Squeaks during rotation (drum brakes). Squeaks with drum ON...does not squeak with drum OFF...so, it's not a wheel bearing. New brakes, new rotor, new bearings, new springs...etc.. Everything is greased that should be. Nothing is greased that should NOT be.

Squeak changes when brake is applied (mutes approximately 50%) but does not disappear.

Visually, everything looks right. Brakes were a little tight on this wheel...but only a little...backed that off to be correct, and squeak is lessened, but not gone...

I'm suspecting my NEW drum is not perfect. Opinions ?

What's next ? Try another (new) drum ? Do it all again ?
