I've got a touchy rear passenger side drum brake on the Sub. It will lock up if I over push the brake pedal so I have to be super sensitive as to how quickly I apply it. On a panic stop especially, it will lock up - wet or dry pavement. Trying to resolve the problem back in the winter, I rebuilt the rear brakes: new shoes, cylinders, hardware. Bleed them multiple times and adjusted the brakes out multiple times. I've pulled both drums to see any differences or abnormalities but none to be found. I can't see anything kinked in the brake line. No axle seal leakages on the shoes. Like I said, it's just the one side.
Blockage in the brake line on the other side maybe causing more power to the "locking" side??
Guess I could swap sides with shoes, then cylinders to see if the problem follows - I don't know. Any suggestions?
