[98 Civic] Changed Brake Shoes, But Now I hear Grinding?
So I changed the rear brake shoes in my 98 civic. After there was a crazy loud grinding sound going on for a few days. I went out, bought some brake cleaner and new drums. Sprayed the shoes down, put the brand new drums on... Now I only hear grinding when I'm driving less than ~25mph. What else is going on here? Is there something I'm missing?

Where metal touches metal, you put a small bit of brake grease to prevent noises. It's a brake job 101 type thing. Checking your wheel hub bearings isn't part of doing a brake job, but it's possible to damage an already failing wheel hub bearing while doing drums. Just get the wheel off the ground, grab at 3/9, and try to wiggle it. Grab again at 12/6, and try to wiggle it again. It shouldn't move in either direction. If it does, you have problems.
