Rear brake drum seems loose/wrong, is it? (1 Viewer)

[gil12]

I was checking my rear brake pads / adjusting my parking brakes and my brake drum slides an 1/8 " back and forth from the lug bolts, and in and out a little. Seems wrong. The other side doesn't, heightening my concern! (I may just have pre-trip jitters. ) I think most times I have the wheel off, the parking brake is on, so I wouldn't have any movement. So maybe this is normal???

Seems normal to me. The rear brakes kinda sorta float on the rear axle from what I was told. Maybe another click or 2 on the adjuster. You'll be fine though. Safe travels

The lug nuts once on wheel hold drum on tight.
To adjust e-brake. Tighten adjuster until drum will not move. Than back off 8 clicks.
