Hi all, after many hours of painstaking diagnosis, I've realised the rear drums on my 75 TA are what is making it clunk around corners.

The symptoms are:
-clunks/grabs around corners after a period of driving (doesn't seem to do it from dead cold)
-clunks from a stop when pulling up at a stop/traffic light
-clunks when pulling to a stop after being on a highway for 30-40 miles without applying the brakes once

After clunking/grabbing a couple of times the noise goes away or it goes away after I pick up a bit of speed. The drums were very recently skimmed, and the drum mechanisms and shoes have 1-2 thousand miles on them tops.

I backed off the e-brake cable a few turns the other day and it seemed to take much longer for the noises to happen, but it still happened after maybe 15 miles driving.

My thoughts are:
-e-brake cable adjusted too tight
-e-brake cables worn out/rusty/need lubricant and not allowing shoes to return

Is there anything else anyone can suggest?
Thanks in advance.
