Cleaned everything out made sure it was lubed up nice. Put everything back together and now the spot is still there. It is at the same point in rotation every time. Can those drums bend? What is my best option or any suggestions. I have put a lot of work into it Sometimes you're the window Sometimes you're the bug

With regards to the brake drum, they will usually bind more in one spot because they are not perfect. that is not a cause for worry. 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!
