Just when I thought I had found the last of my PO chicanery I was setting up my rear bump stops this afternoon and decided to paint the drums... carrying both I noticed a difference in weight...so I put them on a scale.

One is a Mopar... probably original. The other is unknown. What kind of cheap bastard only replaces one drum? (Ok, I've done it on other vehicles when I was really broke.)

So will three pounds ish...really 2.25 lbs of rolling weight make a difference? It drives fine. I just redid the shoes last fall...did one side at a time and didn't notice.

Also worried the center hole on replacements won't work with my Revolution shafts.
