Uneven Brake shoe wear??
I supposedly have self-adjusting brakes. Two of the brake pads are thinner than the rest of them: The front pad of the left front wheel is 3/32", while the back pad of the right rear wheel is 1/8" thick. I have a Trailer Life article that recommends replacement at 1/16" thickness.
Here's my question: IF the other two wheel's brake pads/shoes are still adequate, would you anticipate any problems just replacing both brake shoes on the front left & rear right wheels?? Seems they would kinda balance each other out, and I'm assuming the other drums I'm wanting to leave "as is" will also pull their weight when the brakes are applied??
And I will add that with our anti-sway hitch set-up, we have never had any sway issues whatsoever.
Not sure why only two shoes have worn much faster than the rest of them with "self-adjusting" brakes?? I've driven approx. 20k miles with the trailer.
