Rear Brake Over-adjusting

Well, as I predicted, my drum warped. I could use the bed of my truck for a paint shaker when I hit the brakes.
Got a new drum today. They took my warped one in as a warranty, so my new one was no-charge. Also bought a new adjuster kit. Cost about $6.00. I'll throw that in and see what happens.

I did put all new everything on there. New drum, new adjuster kit, and new shoes (did both sides, since I was in there.) I also dissassembled the threaded adjuster (piece that legthens to adjust tension) wire brushed it, brake cleaned it, then lathered it on the threads in oil. It looks like it spent some time on the Exxon Valdez. I took a pic of the assembled system. Ill try to post it, to see if you guys think I did something wrong. It is set up the same way it was before I did all the new parts.
