Drum brake chatter

Thanks for the tips Bigfoot. I took a file and beveled the lead edge of the primary shoe, but it was a very slight bevel. I've only been 106 in the 1/8 mile since I changed shoes and it only does it if I hit the pedal pretty hard. I'm holding off 1/4 mile stuff till I get it figured out.

Good advice from Bigfoot, I used to do that back in my Firestone brake mechanic job. People would come in and say, my car pulls to the right, we would say, step on the left side of the brake pedal....
