Hey guys I'm in need of some advice. I just put new hardware,wheel cylinders, drums and shoes on my 96 xj and now when I hit the brakes it shakes real bad and also it has new distributor wires and plugs and when it downs shifts into passing gear and gets high rpm it misses. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Maybe an out-of-round drum (sometimes new ones are bad) or something loose in the brakes. Oil on the shoes can cause issues as well. Plug gap OK? Wires on all the way? If carbon resistor wires could you have accidentally damaged one?

A lot of aftermarket parts are made in China these days with spotty quality control.

Did you have the vibrating before you changed the brakes? Maybe the front brakes are the issue. Did you pull the shafts to install the brakes? (C clip issue). Did the outer bearings in the rear axle look ok?

No it was shaking before. Could adjustment be the problem bc one side is hot and the other wasn't so hot. What is the spark plug gap

Plug gap is .035".


Here's the plug you should be using:
