Brake shoes rubbing
The rear left rubs all the way around when spun but you can still free spin it by hand and the adjustment is all the way in. It's a new set of shoes & drum. Does it just need to be worn in? The left rear rubs on one spot even when adjust all the way out, I adjusted out and backed it off and got it as close as I can to how it is when the adjust is all the way in. I'm guessing g that this is a just the case of breaking the shoes in? The front left is Rubbing also the only one that is not the front right and I just adjusted it correctly

Re: Brake shoes rubbing
Did you apply brake pedal before/during adjustment? This will center them in the drum.

Re: Brake shoes rubbing
Drive a few days, then recheck for drag. It took mine a day or two to settle in...also no hard braking initially, but you prolly already knew that. Cheers!
