Re: HELP!!! Drum just came off!
Here are some pictures of the shoes. No way can this be normal. Look at
the striping on one and the wear at the corners on the other. These things
were put on only a few months ago. Also, the driver's side drum, as I said,
just "fell" off. No effort. It moves around the axle end too. The
passenger side had resistance from the shoes touching, but that was it
(still came right off). Didn't move around nearly as much as the driver's
side. What do you guys think???

The shoes look ok - the grooving is due to dirt or sand getting into
the brake. I can't tell how much lining is left - if it is not worn to
the rivies it should be ok.
You need to adjust the star adjusters. They are supposed to be
self-adjusting, but they get rusty. The best bet is to take the XJ to
a shop and have the rear brakes rebuilt and adjusted. If you are
willing to buy a manual and try it yourself, it isn't difficult.The
parts are quite cheap.
Don't mix up the drums - the left should go back on the left side of
the axle. Unless you have them machined - then it doesn't matter where
they go.

Re: HELP!!! Drum just came off!
Thanks. I made sure not to mix up the drums. Should it move around the
axle end (don't know the proper term) like it does? Lots of play. Was
wondering if that was where my popping (clunking, whatever) sound was coming
from.
I also have a lot of play (1/8 turn) when it was in the air and in park.
The play isn't in the u-joint, it seems to be in the diff.

axle end (don't know the proper term) like it does? Lots of play. Was
wondering if that was where my popping (clunking, whatever) sound was coming
from.
I also have a lot of play (1/8 turn) when it was in the air and in park.
The play isn't in the u-joint, it seems to be in the diff.

Re: HELP!!! Drum just came off!
Thanks. I made sure not to mix up the drums. Should it move around the
axle end (don't know the proper term) like it does? Lots of play. Was
wondering if that was where my popping (clunking, whatever) sound was coming
from.
I also have a lot of play (1/8 turn) when it was in the air and in park.
The play isn't in the u-joint, it seems to be in the diff.
