I changed my rear drums/shoes/hardware on my 89 Yj with Dana 35 rear. THe right rear drum was toast, so i just did the whole brake setup... With the wheels and drums off, the axle seems to drag when you spin in. It isnt a consistent drag, it spins freely about 270 degrees, but then drags for a part of the turn. I did notice my right rear brake backing plate seems to be bent out at the bottom. Like I said, this is without the wheels/drums on, so its not the brakes dragging.
Is the rear axle supposed to spin completely or should it have that drag for a part of the rotation? If this is not normal, what could it be? Bent axle shaft?
I put everything back together and took it for a drive. Seems to drive fine. I have only had it for about 6 months, and I only have vibrations between 40-45 mph, no vibes above or below that speed.
