Or the wheel cylinders leaking brake fluid on the shoes/drums. Any contamination of the shoes will make for grabby brakes.
While you're in there, assure that the primary shoe is forward, and the secondary shoe is to the rear. Verify that the star-wheel adjuster isn't damaged or seized--and that the shoes are therefore properly adjusted.
If the bearings are defective, the axle shafts will be defective, too. The bearings ride directly on the axle shafts. Thanks, GM. Wonderful engineering.
