The steering wheel spins violently when the brakes are applied. All cylinders changed and bled. Any ideas?|||sounds like one or more of the brakes are adjusted improperly.... only way to check is to jack the vehicle up and rotate all four wheels... they should drag slightly - too much drag would cause it to pull when accelerating, cruising, and stopping... on the other hand if one isn%26#039;t adjusted out enough when the brakes are applied it may not even contact the drum thus causing a pull to the other side... they are very sensitive to adjustment in that sense..... start with the front two wheels since it is jerking the steering wheel - if it were in the rears it shouldn%26#039;t be so noticeable... hope this helps and good luck with it|||You did it wrong. The brakes don%26#039;t work on one side.|||drum breaks are know for this its just part of drum breaks thats why they are no longer used. something is binding. Check the E-break and ajustment.|||when you replaced them did you notice if they are self-adjusting?
if they are when you change the brakes, make them where they are snug when you put on the brake drum. start the car and back up. as your backing up firmly press the brakes, this will automatically set your brakes.....the self adjusters only adjust in reverse.
if this doesnt work then you might need to re-bleed them once agian. sometimes those air bubbles get a little stubborn. start with the rear drivers tire, then the other rear tire. then your front passenger, then drivers front.
if this still doesnt work take hubs back off and make sure your brake assymble is installed correctly.|||Even a small amount of contamination on the shoes,such as brake fluid or oil,will cause it to grab and pull the car in it%26#039;s direction.The drums should be removed so that the shoes can be lightly sanded.
