Gentlemen

I just rebuilt one of my front hubs because the drum was binding a little. 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

Is this the same hub with the loose balls in the bearing? If so, that bearing is no good. Also the hub is one piece.

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.
