drum brakes

[tecton]

my driver side rear drum is grabbing around turns

if something like this was wrong with the brake, would it probably be one of those springs is loose/tight/worn or something like that?

When mine did that, i had a busted axle tube, wher it's pressed in the housing, actually was more like the housing broke at the flange that holds the tube. As far as i know, if if any parts in the drum assembly are broke, it should rub all the time, i would seriously go over the whole thing and throughly check it out, have any oil leakage of anything lightly coated with gear oil back there?

Is it grabbing when the brakes are applied or any time you are turning?

It may be a leaking wheel seal. Oil on the shoes makes them do strange things.

just when im turning

i thought it was the rear end, but i dont lose any power, doesnt feel like a slipping

also, if i hit the gas is grabs like a mofo, but if i just roll, it feels like that brake is lightly applied slowing me down around the turn

and finally, the truck wants to pull to the passenger side slightly
