Noise from the drums.... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thats true. But I don't feel the car drag, and I only followed the DIY, so yell at the person who wrote it/those who followed it, not just me! lol

Other then that, the car stops and performs awesome now.

I will be sure not to adjust it that much when I change the drum shoes within the next few weeks.

I did test the car after only adjusting 1 side, and it took 3-4clicks, and it stopped ok, but after I did the other side, it became 1 click to stop the car, and very smooth stopping.... Actually, I have to let go of the brakes at the end else it stops a bit rough/too fast at the very end I guess cause the drums are catching way too much.

But whatever. I don't care only because those shoes have to go soon anyway.

And as for self adjusting, I have always heard that these drums never really self adjust because they always get way too loose. And thats why they always have to be adjusted every time the wheels are rotated. Or atleast when you go to the dealership and pay them $$$ to do services every 5000 miles.

I rather do this myself, and for that matter, I will never again buy a car with drums. Waste of my time to adjust these things.
