Metal on Metal + Heat = Serious Problem.

After 40 years on the road I guess something has to give, and today it was the right rear wheel of my 1969 sunroof, somehow the axle nut backed off a bit allowing the drum to become mis-shapen.  I don't really know how this happens, but I can tell you that when you are cruising at 65 mph and hear a grenade going off!

Fortunately I was able to take 'er off the road and limp her to Vee Village in downtown kansas city.

The looseness is the axle nut caused the drum to become misshapen causing the issue.

Part not available locally, of course, $92.00 + labor = Ouch !

The actual word from Vee Village was "RR drum is loos and wallowed out."

Vee Village fixed 'her up good, but there attention to detail is lacking, I drover her out of the shop and with-in two blocks I could here a slight grinding / grating sound, not like before, but definetly NOT right.  Return to vee village.

They take her back in and say that all is fine, hah !

I drive it with them, "oh yeah, Bob, that doesn't sound right", no shit man !

Finally they end up having to work the drum and backing plate on lathe to get them to work properly, quietly and without a lot of heat build up.
