If you find hubs are loose on the axle they make shims that will take up the space and prevent the drums from rubbing the back plates and making noise. They are only a few dollars. I used one on my Roadster Pickup.
I had to file my axles because of the stripped threads and re-thread them to 9/16 - 18 pitch. Original threads are 5/8 - 18 pitch. I made a step by step video showing how I did mine on Youtube (1928 Ford Model A Stripped Axle Repair). Hopefully yours just need to be re torqued. Don't forget to use a NEW Cotter Pin after Torqued.
