I recently replaced the drum brakes and shoes on my girlfriends Corolla. After the repair, the right rear side has an audible knocking/thumping sound that only happens when you press on the brake. You can also feel the thumping through the brake pedal.
Anyone run into this issue before? I pulled the drum off and everything looked fine. My only guess is that there is something going on with the adjuster. Either is not working correctly, or I didn't adjust it out enough? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

If for some reason the drum is warped it'd cause vibration under braking, that or maybe the drum or shoe surface is off. They're new, but shìt happens. I know on older cars you're supposed to take off quickly in reverse and then slam on the brakes to self-adjust, rather or not that's the case here in a newer car I don't know. Does it make the noise when using the emergency brake?
