Bad Vibrations

Now now fellers, let's play nice and not fight about spelling.
Btw, it's "yoke" 77, not yolk (egg).
Yolk in the trans might make it turn "over easy", but could eventually "fry" it!

ah man dig the flame war.
and yea i think i have done a pretty good job at not throwing too much money at it, but only in places it needed it to help. and it got better but its still odd,
later today ill see if my friend has any magic idea on why its acting up. my bets are on drum and fronts being grab happy. maybe if we adjust the drum brakes some and replace those caliper pins it be a good start at letting my caliper be a floating caliper and not fail boat.

well.. im an unknowing idiot, when i was very inexperienced with the car, i found a set of drums from my dads 70. and i put them on my camaro without adjusting or cross checking. the drum is supper grab happy with one of the pads. IE why it locks up and slides. it does this under normal driving.. so thats some vibration
then i checked the rotor on the side i feel the pulling (pulling from drum grabbing) and no warp no problem but the tire is a little out of round. maybe the start of a fail belt...
i replaced the wheel bearings about 1000 miles ago.. and never bothered re adjusting and they have a bit of a click if you pull or push on them. so they need another 1/8th of a turn into the next cotter pin slot.... so if you add all of this up... no wonder i have a vibration...
tomorrow im getting it on the stand with all tires off and going too
Bleed Brakes,
adjust wheel bearings,
replace the drums with the ones that where on the car when i got it,
adjust drum breaks and see if i cant adjust and lube up my fail E brake,
and see what good comes from all of this.

lol i do know. just not as much after a day like i had, no harm here, was just damn tired.
on a side note. i went and to bleed some air out of the drum brakes, found some air at the drum actuator. also replaced my drums with the factory ones that came with the car, and re tightened my wheel bearings, they were lose, the brakes still have a bit of a hop to them but its better, next friday gona go to my buds house, he knows more about brakes than me. we i will most likely overhaul/ clean, bleed, oil pins, and inspect and see why it pulls under braking. and setup E brake correct. E brake doesnt touch a damn thing.
