Re: 1995 Jeep Cherokee brake question
There is a general rule, that the primary or short shoes are downwind of the
cylinders, with respect to the normal drum rotation, when the vehicle is
going forward. Like this, when the cylinders are on top.
Left side iO|
Right side |Oi
Put the cylinders on the bottom, and the adjusters on top, and the situation
will be reversed.

Hi Earle,
And we have far less braking power, as the front shoe forces the
rear shoe harder against the drum and anchor.
