If it's just the drum as you say then all you have to do it go to napa and get a new one. your better off getting a new one for the left side also. it's like having 2 new pairs of shoes. you wouldn't like to have one new one and used used one. it just wouldn't feel right. check the pads while your att it and see if they need replacing as well.

When you have the drum off make sure the hub is straight and nothing there is bent. Spin the hub, if it wobbles the entire hub assembly has to be changed as the bearing is pressed onto the hub and is only sold as a unit and acutally quite easy to replace. Also, check the rim make sure thats not bent as well, usually the rim is the first to bend. Good luck.
