Bad strut rod bushings?

I don't know if I mentioned this in another posters post or yours.

But the backing plate could have groves worn into the pads where the shoes ride and that WILL cause brake pull.

I have seen, the upper especially, a "S" or "Z"

I took these photos when rebuild the brakes i think they don’t have groves.
