Can a Brake Drum Be Machined on a Brake Lathe if It's Deeply Scored or Warped, and What Precautions Are Necessary on Dodge Neon?

When a brake drum becomes heavily lined with marks or is warped, it can be machined on a brake lathe made for that job, checking the manufacturer's instructions for guidance. You should measure the brake drum diameter and make sure it doesn't go above the maximum allowed after machining; if it does, you have to replace the drum. Both sides of all brake drums are marked with the maximum allowed diameter and care must be taken to stay below this value. When machining, use a fine feed cut for the final pass, because having a coarse finish could cause the brake shoes to screw into the drums when braking and this may not be the same specification across all manufacturers.
