Something to check is whether the large welded pins that the brake shoes rest on t the bottom are solidly welded into the backing plate.

(It finally resulted in a rear-ending accident in 2010 which got me off my ass and got the truck into a shop where they discovered the broken pin.) With the backing plate replaced, the brakes have never been better.
Just one more thing to look into. It could be on any one of the wheels; it creates slop in the whole system that the hydraulics are called upon to fill.

I like it because I understand how it works (mostly).
