Q: Getting a grinding/scraping noise when braking from my drum brakes, I replaced the shoes and drums and continues to happen.
I am getting a grinding/scraping noise when braking from my rear drum brakes, I replaced the shoes and drums and continues to happen. It is a lot less noticeable after changing them but it still happens. It is more of a roar when braking at high speeds, but only when braking. It's not continuous at high speeds. There doesn't seem to be any play in the bearings.
My car has 90000 miles.

My aftermarket crankshaft pulley is wobbling a little when it idles. Does it just need to be tightened, or replaced?
The harmonic balancer should not wobble at all. The heavy bolt that holds the balancer to the crankshaft snout is quite tight. Presumably the balancer bolt was torqued to the Factory Service Manual value, and so you cannot safely tighten...
