Brake trouble

Hello just need to ask a question I have A 1965 for fairlane with a 289. It has drum brakes all the way around. I have changed the front brake shoes, cylinders and springs. I have adjusted them out. Problem is the more I drive the car the more it want to pull to the left and vibrate the front end bad. So bad it feels like the front end is going over rumble strips. I don't feel comfortable driving the car so any help to get me motoring again would be appreciated.

Re: Brake trouble

You may have turned the adjusters out a bit too far.

Try backing them off a bit on that one side.

You may also have a bad master cylinder that is not allowing the fluid pressure to be released entirely after you release the brake pedal. This is causing the brakes to drag.
