After 2 sets of tires and endless Rotations and Balances trying to solve Vibration issues, I finally decided to replace my rear Drums in hopes that they might solve the problem. My Drums were in great shape, and plenty of Metal left....as I am easy on my Brakes....so I had my doubts. I am VERY HAPPY to report that these Wearever Drums completely solved my Vibration issues! What a relief! I had a persistent Vibration that would surface around 55mph and then again around 70+ . Now, smooth as a Baby's Butt! They came sealed in Plastic, Machined and after a few squirts of Brake Clean to clean off the preservative, adjusted the shoes and they were perfect. They appear to be good quality and I am very happy:)

Unfortunately, there's nothing good about this product. I was told that AAP had "fixed" their problem with selling defective junk brake drums after the fiasco about a year or so ago when they quit selling drums altogether for a little while, during arguments/talks with their supplier(s) about the junk products. Well, their "new" brake drum supplier seems to be just as bad as the old one. I cannot believe that they actually sell this TRASH to people and expect them to come back! This is the second time I've had to have a pair of BRAND NEW AAP "white-box Wearever" OUT-OF-ROUND junk brake drums turned at my local automotive shop, to remedy a problem with a defective AAP product! Having to RE-surface brand new drums and/or rotors on a brake lathe is both absurd and COSTLY! The turning service costs money, and it also cuts down the thickness of the steel drum (or rotor) material, leading to a quicker need for replacement of said parts! I'm done buying drums from AAP unless they agree to compensate me for having to have the drums turned at my local shop, and also for my fuel and labor for running back and forth to the store and for having to tear the car apart several times for this problem. The drums were severely out of round from the very first day I installed them on my wife's car! I'm sure this factual and truthful review will be erased by your moderation staff, which is very unfortunate for all the customers out there that need to be warned of the unsafe garbage being sold as OEM quality products, which they clearly are NOT.

Comments about Wearever Brake Drum:
This is the second vehical I have installed these on and I must say that they are great. The product is made very well and is easy to install. Machining is great without a doubt. Only thing you will need is a can of brake clean to use in the wipe down of the factory oil on them.

Comments about Wearever Brake Drum:
First excuse my English I am a Spanish speaking person. Now to the Drums. I acquired the drums because of their price. Drove the car several docents' miles and the vibration come. Change the front discs and the vibration persisted. Change the drum again in the two years warranty twice and the vibration keep coming. Simple these products are not at the minimum standard of a store as Advanced. Please don't buy them. Advanced please don't sell them. How I know that are the drums? Simple, In a downhill I don't press the brake pedal, just pull the emergency brake and the vibration just cry at me.

China, I just bought two today.Answered on 7/11/2011 by Brad from Newton NCA:
I just bought these drums in Newton NC and they are made in CHINA! They seem to be good quality though so far (1 day). They have a nice fillet radius on the inside which fights the drums tendancy to expand. I returned the junk China autozone part to get these.Answered on 7/11/2011 by Brad from Newton NCA:
They are made in China and now just 2 months later they are warped like mad! I am going to pull them and return them today for a new pair and I will have play this game with junk parts for the next two years. Then I waill pay the money for good quality drums. Bottom line, don't bother with these unless you LIKE swapping drums, or the clicking noise that develops after the warp realy kicks in.
Q:
How do I determine if my Cavalier uses a 225mm or 200mm rear drum? I cannot find any reference to drum size in my owners or repair manuals.Asked on 2/14/2011 by OldMan from Colorado Springs, co1 answer
A:
200mm*.03937=7.784inches. 225mm*.03937=8.853inches. Look on the outer rim of the drum, if max DIA is 7 and some odd inches they are 200mm. If max DIA is 8 and some inches they are 225mm.Answered on 5/14/2011 by Brad from Newton NC
