I recently did a brake job on my 91 sport, and could not get my right rear drum back on because the new shoes would not compress due to the forked bracket that is used to engage the parking brake was too long. I know know it didn't grow while it was out but I seem to remember my ranger had the same problem except that forked bracket was bent to fit. after Convincing (don't ask)it on, my wife drove it around for about a week or so complaining that it would stall out (manual tran). So I ground out 1/4 inch or so on the explorer bracket and it all went back together fine. problem now is that I have a vibration at 65 to 75 mph. I do not feel it in the steering wheel at all and have checked u-joints. bearings in front were replaced and tires new and balanced. Anybody have any suggestions?
