Re: "Grinding" rear brake drums ...

I have mentioned.......one other thing that can factor in is the rear wheel bearings needing re-packed.
When they need re-packed....you get a little play in there, which can make that rust ridge rub the shoe lining.
I had that take place ONLY when cornering.....and the mechanic told me that it was because the rear wheel bearings needed to be re-packed.
Not just trying to upsell me because it was allready on the "to-do" list that I told them when I took it in.

Front wheel bearings, you cannot repack.......
Rear wheel bearings, need to be repacked from time to time....
