Thanks, then I know what's the problem. Question then is, will this stop when the wear of the shoes makes it fit the drum? Or is that so much wear neeeded that the wheel bearings will be broken first?? I'm not sure if there are any good brake workshops left around here...

I'm afraid I did not. Would think the workshop that mounted the parts in the first round would have done that, at last when I came back complaining. When I rotate the wheel, I can feel a kind of "unbalance", the shoes touches now and then on the left side. But I thought that would pass after a short period. Can this be the problem? Haven't been working with drum brakes for ages, but do remember them as quite easy things to work with...

I can't feel any play in the bearings, not when "twisting" the wheels when jacked up at least. And as far as I can hear, there is no noise from the wheel bearings when driving.

Long intro but please rear, this is driving me nuts: I bought new drums and shoes for the rear brakes on my Connect T230, 2011. Did however not manage to remove the old drums, using all the tricks in the book. Put the car in a workshop along with the parts. They magicaly managed to remove the old drums, put things together and returned the car. However there was now some rather heavy vibrations when braking, and since pulling the handbrake while driving gave the same vibrations, this had to come from the rear brakes. Back to the workshop complaining, they didnt find anything wrong so they concluded it had to an unbalance in the drums I had brought..I got hold of new drums, replaced them myself this time, still the same vibrations. I even replaced the brake cylinders on both sides to be sure they didn't cause any uneven pressure on the shoes. But still vibrations... So, can the workshop have broken something in the suspension when using magical tricks to remove the original drums (unimaginary amounts of force..), or what can it be that I'm missing? The vibrations are harder the more force I apply on the brakes. When jacked up, the wheels are rolling without any spesific noise, and I cant feel any specific wear on either of the wheel hubs... Anyone who has any idea what can cause these vibrations?
