It is possible to warp the drums out-of-round as you have mentioned by applying the emergency brake immediately after a bout of "spirited" driving, (or whenever the brakes have been used enough to make them inordinately hot). When the emergency brake is applied, the shoes come in contact with the drum and effectively change the ability for this area of the drum (shoe contact area), to dissipate heat as compared to the rest of the drum area. In an extreme case these two areas cooling at different rates could cause the warpage you've mentioned. Hope this helps- Daren Stone Intel Co. |
