Until yesterday when I was taking my trailer back to storage.
All of a sudden …..I was traveling about 30-35 mph and had another rather quick kinda hard braking incident (a DA in a beat-up pick up truck pulled out in front of me) ….. and I hit the breaks and had a short tire skid and a brief smell of burnt rubber.

What is going on guys?
Rusty brake drums? When some brake drums or wheel rotors sit unused in rainy weather for a long time, the surface that contacts the brake liner will rust up. That rusty surface make a high friction contact with the brake pads that causes brake lockup or brake squeal until the rust is worn away.
