Tom,

It is more likely the fault of the installer. This was installed less than
100 miles ago. The drums came new in the box. The shop who got the parts has
been doing work for me for years. The get parts and install same day. I
think the shop rookie worked on the van which is why I suspect the damage
happened there.
