You'd come out ahead to buy hardware and self adjuster kits for all of your drum brakes and putting it together correctly. All those springs are meant to be replaced periodically anyway. It will cost around $25/wheel.
Posted via Mobile DeviceAre you buying at a local parts store or online? Seems like about 1/4 of the parts I buy these days have to go back because they’re not right.
