Rear drum brake maintenance
Rear drum brakes on these Jeeps rely on the shoes, springs and hold-down hardware working together. Shoes that are glazed, uneven or worn to the rivets reduce braking and can pull the vehicle to one side. Hardware that has stretched or lost tension lets the shoes sit off-center, which wears the lining unevenly.
Before reassembly, clean the backing plate and check the wheel cylinder for leaks. Set the adjuster so the shoes contact the drum evenly, and confirm the parking brake lever moves freely. A pedal that feels soft or travel that changes after a few stops usually points to adjustment or fluid issues rather than the shoes alone.
- Check the hold-down springs for stretch
- Clean the adjuster threads
- Inspect the wheel cylinder boots
