Is it possible the extra travel of the wheel cylinder pistons as a result of
the excessive wear to the drums caused the wheel cylinders to fail in June
and then again prematurely fail?


Also I apprecaite this discussion because my brakes are acting a bit odd in
the same way--even after bleeding and all. The front rotors are new(ish) from
the DPO. But I'll check the drums. So thanks. The list works. Pass it on.
