Something has run out. wERE THEY TURNED WITH ALL FIVE LUG NUTS, PLUS THE THREE SCREWS IN, aND THEN KEPT TOGETHER AS A MATCHED SET? Sorry, caps key activated.

Or, is there on e of the small screws sticking up? Loose a trun, or cruddy and won't got down tight, OR is it good now, but was high during the turning?

The whole point of turning drums on hubs is to get the whole assembly true, mixing or rotating the parts not only voids that, but makes it worse than turning off the hubs.

Otherwise, any loose parts in the rest oft the axle> I'm thinking front spindle-to-knuckle.

AAaand, who did the turning? Did they have the right spindle adapters on the lathe?

AAand, is there anything interfering between a drum and a rim? Wheel weights, or drum weights? Matched set of drums or is one a 'dually off set'? The dually drums don't fit over the 14" brake drum.

Can you do a brake adjustment procedure to Isolate the worst drum? I just adjusted mine, and cna listen/feel/watch the drum turning until it gets tight, then has a slight out of round shoop-shoop noise. Nothing is perfect. Way out drum would hit a spot and lock up as the shoe feeds out.

Let us know if you need more input.
