Hi all. Routine inspection yielded this on the driver side: http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/DSleadingshoe.jpg/DSleadingshoe-full;init:.jpg Same leading shoe wiped down a little: http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/DSleadingshoewiped.jpg/DSleadingshoewiped-full;init:.jpg And trailing shoe: http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/DStrailingshoewiped.jpg/DStrailingshoewiped-full;init:.jpg Leading shoe lining is cracked more. (obviously) Shoes have less than 30K km's as do drums, cylinders, and hardware. Shoes at ~ 5 mm and drum is ~4.5 mm. No grease or heat damage that I can see. Is this cracking normal? Can I keep using these shoes? Thanks!
