Sure it ids the rear brakes? Drums not seated properly and center lip
caught on edge of hub. If turned, set up incorrectly, if new, defective.
Oil or grease contamination.

Subject: pulsing rear brakes

the brakes on my 87 are pulsing (I mean, the pedal pulses when you press
it,
I do not have to pump, there is good pressure) at speeds over 40mph, the
faster the stronger. This is after I just redid the rear brakes with new
shoes. any input on what i could have done wrong?

thanks a lot
