think its rear as front disk/pads lok fresh and no grooves

how ever when the gf breaks the rear drums seem to grind, i have removed the drum there is deffinetl 3mm of shoe material left, i sprayed them with break cleaner re assembled it and it was fine for two days now its grinding again


only grinds under breaking

might change the shoes see if it changes anything
