I'm rebuilding the front suspension on my 57 - 3100. I've replaced the king pins and did a complete brake job but was unable to save the brake drums. They were too far gone having spent 35 years buried in the mud.
Went to my FLAPS auto parts store and was able to purchase two new front brake drums. I noticed one of the drums has a lead weight glued to the face. It's small enough that it won't interfer with the wheel. I've done my share of brake jobs over the years but have never noticed a brake drum balanced with weights - I guess all of them I've dealt with didn't need to be balanced.
What do you guys think - Should I take it back to the store or do you think I'm over reacting and it will be OK? Getting ready to paint it so wanted your opinions before I do. | | |
