I took my 97 Tacome to the (only) local mechanic to have new shoes put on the rear brakes. When it came back it had a vibration upon braking. He told me he had turned my drums, so I fugures that they just needed to wear in. Several thousand miles later they still vibrate and the petal pulses whenever I brake.
I decided that I would just fix it myself rather then go mess with them (because several months had passed) so I bought a new set of drums and put them on. Still vibrates. So, I bought new shoes and put them on as well. Still vibrates.
What's left? The only thing I can think of is that they bent something beating on it to remove the drums when they first removed them. How do you fix that?
The ironic thing is that I took it to a mechanic because I had never done drum brakes before. I wish I had just done it myself the first time now, because I have essentially done the job I paid them for again trying to fix the job I paid them for.
TIA for any advice.
