Bingo. I went through nightmare with the Rabestos 11x2.5 ones on my '89 Diplomat Police car. Couldn't figure out why everything was fine and adjusted well until I torqued down wheels and then the brakes felt locked. I ended up throwing in the trash because shipping them back would've practically cancel out my refund with Rockauto. I probably could've tried to find a place that would have turned them for me but at this point I was over these chinese POS.

I was lucky enough to find NOS ones on ebay although at $100 a piece I was just happy to find them, finish the brake job and have them work right and know they would last.
