Drum Brakes

[Kevin E]

I noticed my left rear drum(98 Sport) is not as free as the left. I replaced everything a couple of months ago and have no issue in braking. My question is on adjustment to free up the drum so it matches the left drum. Could this be causing the Jeep to veer to the right when shifting gears on manual tranny and when a semi firm brake is applied? Thanks

You can try working on the adjustments, but I'd also look for a stuck e-brake or bad wheel cylinder if it's veering that much.

Thanks I will check those out.

It only veers to the right when brakes are applied? If so, then yes I would think it could be drum brake related.

I would check those adjustments on the drums to make sure.
