I had the same problem with the front brakes also. I am certain that the adjusters were in. The original Ford shoes are like new and when I put them on the hubs slid right over and I had no issues. Tomorrow It’s definitely something with the new shoes. Very frustrating. I can’t tell you how many times I had them on and off the backing plates trying to figure out what was wrong. Im going to run the ford shoes but I still would like to diagnose the problem.
