Subject:      Another DIfferent Rear Brake Question: Kink in centerbore of drum
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hello Again,

Asking for my pal again. Same drum as before. There is a kink or dent at the
centerbore of the drum. I do not think this warrants replacement as the drum
sits flush on the rear hubs anyway. The same muffler shop trying to persuade
them the brakes had uneven wear thought that this makes the brake "warped"
for some reason. Please advise pro or con if you think this affects the
brakes at all. I personally would just smack this area back flat if it was
just a cosmetic issue.
