Re: [T3] RR Brake (?) thumping

    I did look for cracks in the drum, and cleaned with brake fluid to
inspect.  This might explain why the e-brake thump is louder than
pedal (more localized force than all 4 wheels stopping).  I will pull
the wheel and watch the hub while Ginger pumps the brakes.
    The hub is still appears tight (cotter pin still there), and no
movement when leveraging with the wheel on.  This is a two piece
setup, and hub and splines were in excellent condition prior to Parma.

    This is really odd, I thought for sure I'd see something obvious
in there.
