Oddly, it causes me to pull left when I stick the brakes kind of hard (maybe from fade on the right side?). I'm about to jump into it right now and see what the problem is but I thought I would leave a post in case anyone has had a similar problem. Thanks.

Replace the seal and shoes, put in a new return spring for good measure, and adjust it. You may want to do both sides with new shoes so it pulls evenly.

make sure all parts are free of contaminants or you may get lockup or grabbing upon aplication of brakes.
