Worked on brakes to get rid of front hop during braking. I could feel the brakes grabbing on/off if light pressure and barely moving. Jacked up rear and spinning rear tire I could feel brake grab and release during each revolution.

Had the drums turned and yep, out of round. Shop took material from about 1/3 of the circumference. More like half for the other side. Drums were new, so either I did it overheating them or crappy part from get go. Had the new rotors turned as well. All new friction material and hop is now gone!
