HI,
I have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. The brake shoes on the back are cracked down the middle. Also, on each side the braking surface on one shoe is very rough.
Any idea what would cause this?
Thanks Hal

Heat.
Driving with the rear shoes adjusted too tight, driving with the Emergency brake on, or, the rear brakes sticking.

Add to that a drop of gear lube from a leaking axle seal.

Well that is self-repairing. Once you run out of brake fluid, the pressure on the shoe is released. ;^)

Humidity gets to all my brake shoes usually before I have a chance to change them.
They swell and then wear weird and crack as they get used and hot.
After my CJ sat for a year being rebuilt, I had to replace all the pads and shoes. They had less than a year's wear on them...
