HELP!!! Drum just came off!
Was investigating that popping noise on my wife's XJ. Sure enough, putting
my hands at 12 and 6 and tugging produced a "clunk". I popped the tires off
(NOT easy -- those were the TIGHTEST lugs I have ever loosened) and when I
released the e-brake, the drum just came right off. NO effort. I no
NOTHING about brakes, but I'm pretty sure that isn't supposed to happen and
that is the source of the popping sound when she stops.
What the heck do I do now???? Do I just put the drum back on? Shouldn't
something be holding it in place???

Re: HELP!!! Drum just came off!
The wheel holds it into place. Put the wheel back on when you replace the
drum. :-)
The rear axle on the XJ is supposed to have a little in-out play in it if
memory serves.

Re: HELP!!! Drum just came off!
If I grab the ends of the axles I can pull them in and out a bit (Chrysler
8.25 w/trac-loc). That isn't normal, is it? Keep in mind I have this
popping sound that comes from the rear when I'm stopping that I'm trying to
track down.

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???
