Are the new drums on new hubs? Old hubs tend to be "stretched" where they have repeatedly been driven over the axle taper.

New axles SHOULD be the best way to go - but there have been reports that the new differential gear are welded to the new axle shaft - and these have had reported failures. (Original axles are one piece.)

Agreed on the taper shims but it may depend on how you report on my query above.
