Are you using identical rear brake drums on both sides? It would appear that one side may have a drum with a built in spacer, whilst the other side has one without? Have you fitted new brake drums to it at all? Maybe they weren't a matched pair?

ya, it true! .. mm should i put space on others side.. so it become balance, isn't?

The simple answer is to fit the same type of drums to both sides. If you have front disks, fit spacered drums to the rear, if you have front drums, fit non-spacered drums to the rear.

if i state like this which is imbalance situation, is it bad effect to our tyres, chasis and so on ?

Sorry to topic hi jack but i have this on my mini aswell front and back, the wheels on the passengers side stick out more then the drivers side wheels.

sweetser,

why it happen.. because of spacer or what.. ?

[sweetser]

i dont have a clue why it is like that, my rear drums are the same and my front brakes are the same, it just seems to happen

clubby,

have you fitted the same rear drums to each side? i didn't quite understand from what you put.

if not, then yes, all you need to do is get two the same.

will it affect the tyres? probably, as its not really aligned properly to the front and the others.

chassis? probably not.
