[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 436229, member: 18789"] It is certainly a poor design. My drums were untouched from the factory when I got my YJ at 20 years old and 45K miles. The parking brake began not holding facing uphill at 50K. I think the real solution is to stick a fork in there and adjust the shoes every few thousand miles. Which is of course a pain. I don't think by design they will ever properly self adjust. Eventually it just made the most sense to bite the bullet and do the disc swap because I was tired of screwing with it. [/QUOTE]
