Had some some aftermarket brake drums installed on a daily driver('84
Chrysler 5th Avenue). At speeds higher than 45 mph an unbalanced condition
started and at 60 to 65 the car was undrivable.Had all four tires balanced
and the condition still existed. I thought it could be a broken belt on one
of the tires. After trials of switching tires found the brake drums had no
weights on to balance them.When the old drums were replaced the car ran as
smooth as ever. My question ,are all after market brake drums unbalanced ??? If
so, who offers a service to balance these drums ? I would think all aftermarket
drums should be balanced otherwise they are useless.
I should mention they were from CHina !! Would Mother Mopar supply balanced
drums with the weights. Sorry,somewhat off forwardlook, but could affect any of
our forwardlook cars.
Any info appreciated. Thanks
