Balance brake drums
I recently replaced my brake drums with new ACDelco drums. I think I noticed an increased vibration in the rear after this. I had the rear wheels checked for balace, but they were OK. The tire-guy suggested to try to measure the drums on the wheel balancing machine, and said yes.l After spinning the drums on the machine the machine reported 30 + 40 grams unbalance.
1. Can one check drum balance this way?
2. Any chance I got wrong type of drums?

Never have I ever heard an issue with drums being out of balance...
Have him 'balance' your old drum and see how it comes out.

The only thing close would be to have them turned on a lathe. But it is not called balancing. When I install new drums or rotors I do have them turned because it will make them more true.
