If the bearing race sits deeper on the OEM hub and drum, does that mean its contact with the brake shoes is also 1/4" offset from the reproduction hub and drum? When mounted on the car, is the drum closer to the backing plate?

I didn't have the presence of mind to look. I generally have to fiddle with adjustment a bit before I let the auto adjusters take over so I'll look next time I'm under there.

I have about 30min of work to do in my office and then I'm going to go drive a bit with my old (repop) hub back on there and see what the temps look like.

That will tell me, drum or something in the brake.
