drum brakes pull to left
Thanks for all the help. I have new drums, shoes, springs, wheel cylinders, replaced right front twice, wheel bearings, new hard and rubber lines, no sign of fluid or grease on shoes. Left side shoes have all the wear.The lines just got replaced. maybe i should start over with new shoes. Two people said adjuster on right is out pretty far

Re: drum brakes pull to left
Grease or oil on shoes creates a sporadic grabbing of the brakes. If you have people telling you the adjuster is not adjusted correctly, what have you done about that?
Did you bleed the brakes correctly, and get all of the air purged? |

Re: drum brakes pull to left
Try loosening the left side until it pulls straight. Then back up and pump the brakes a few times. If the adjusters are working they should self adjust.
