    so I just had my shop replace all the brake shoes on the truck. One guy did it by hisself And of course I feel like it was to much work for him but now when I brake between 40-50mph I have a wobble in the steering until I apply harder pressure. Everything was fine before we replaced the pads so what would be the cause of this?

    Warped drum ?
    Loose shoe ?
    Poor brake stroke alignment causing uneven application?

    Did he have the hubs off? If so I'd check your wheel bearing play.

    You have a drum likely not sitting perfectly centered on the hub.

    Yea that’s what I figured when he mentioned the tabs. I looked at them and they weren’t centered but I replace the drums anyway. It’s a lot better but I still get a small one at 35mph now.
