The car has 152K miles. The reason I'm thinking of replacing the drums is because of an issue we've been having with the brakes.
1. There is a slight squeal from the brakes, not a big deal. Occasionally sounds slightly worse than a squeal.
2. The car "pulls back" when brakes are applied. It's hard to describe, kind of "stutters." The car doesn't stop smoothly. It feels like your putting on more pressure to the pedal and then less, repeatedly. Not sure if this makes sense
Anyways, I've had the brakes checked twice. The front rotors are smooth and only have 40K miles on them. The front pads are at 50-60%. The brakes aren't hard or soft, so I don't think it's the master cylinder or the booster. We had the rear shoes replaced about 50K ago. The only thing that's original are the drums, w/ 152K miles.
I'm glad you asked that question, what do you think?
