My gut says no.
The shop that turned them for me said he didn't think it would be a problem.

 

I would go with no.

 

I wouldn't, time for two new drums. Or if funds are tight, another drum from a JY.

RBob.

 

Drums are cheap enough,no way.

 

Awww, come on guys, It will be fine. Just dont hit the brakes hard.... lol.....


New drum time.

 

Can you imagine what would happen if it broke at 60 mph.



"he did not think it would be a problem"

 

It would destroy everything in the area, possibly locking up that wheel sending him into a horrific spin....... enough scary talk

 

OK,
That's enough, but it had to be said. As it is not just the Driver, but "always" taking others on the road into consideration. There safety first.

 

uh..yeah, I'm not going to run that.
I just posted it for everyones viewing pleasure...

 

A guy at a shop told you it would be ok and the smart thing to do is bring it here. That's what this sites for.
I have a problem with so called mechanics around here.
When I hear that kind of advise it just ticks me off. Sorry

 

I Can't Belive He Actualy Gave You Those Back With A Crack In The Drum Like That,I'd Stay Away From That Machine Shop.

 

can you imagine what the mechanic has seen over his years of turning wrenches....(if he is a older guy) and some of it was prob working when the customers brought stuff into the shop...... Maybe he turned them and the crack was there when it cleaned up so he felt bad charging for a resurface and just said run it... Hell,It might even of lasted...... But for a car that, chances are that you dont drive like a old grandma. So the brakes get used a lot more/heat, expansion, retraction 100x then failure. I'm not standing up for the guy, but there are some old timers out there that have been turning wrenches for long time and have seen some crazy messed up stuff... and it was still working...I used to fix semi trailers and 90% of the time the drums were cracked.. yes i replaced them but how long were they cracked for..... however for the cost of a new drum.... Thats why I never turn anything... maybe a rotor if it is really nice or if new ones are expensive.. otherwise I buy new... Like putting old pads/shoes on... heh

 

Are you a secret shopper for the state inspector?
