I was going to first try replacing the drum mounting hub OEM since it is plastic and from what I learned on YT, is common for it to wear out causing it to lose it’s grib and hence shakes.

BUT, I am having a problem getting the bottom out as it is stuck. Trying citiric acid at the moment to get the corrosive build-up to loosen its grip. Any advise greatly appreciated here.

Until then, I see people replacing pads and springs, but I sense it is the drum mounting hub OEM per the aforementioned reasons.

I could use some guidance and curious what is the common problem? drum? spring? pad? or?

Kindly,

If the inner tub is not loose then it would be more likely that the suspension rods would be the issue and not the hub.
