Default Brake drums from Oreilly’s

Bought 2 new drums from O’Reilly and this is what I got. The one on the left has no stampings and has 3 pieces of steel bar welded onto it. The one on the right looks better built. They are both made in China and have


the same numbers on the box...mostly. Would you guys accept this one or take it back for a matching drum?

The one with metal on was so off balance they had to weld metal on to balance it. I wouldn't accept it.

Yeah, the more I thought about it I decided to take it back. They ordered 2 more tonight and I’ll go check them in the morning.

Much better the second attempt. They don’t look like remanufactured garbage.

I think the max diameter markings are required.
