P32 Rear Drum Brake Wear
I am in the process of inspecting rear drums, brake shoes, bearings, diff fluid, etc. My 1995 Georgie Boy has just under 37K miles and the shoes are likely original(?). Question is why would the lead...

Tim,
I definitely have drums on the rear. Not sure when/if they quit using drums. Maybe for smaller (mine is 27') MH they used drum and disc for larger?
All,
I picked up new shoes earlier today and found out that my shoes are hardly even worn; maybe 1/32 or 1/16 at the most. Also noticed that the trailing shoe lining is definitely much thicker, so my wear pattern appears to be normal. I will return the shoes, springs, cylinders since I don't really need new shoes at this time - this was more of an inspection, fluid change. It was all worth it because I also found that one of my wheel studs had 2-3 threads completely stripped. Back to the auto store for new HW. I will replace them all and get new nuts as well.
