Yup and have some towels to soak up the blood coming from your mouth when you punch yourself in the chin.

I looked at every Mopar car out there. The 784's I pulled were out of a 95 Neon with the 2.4. I looked at the 2.0, 2.4 and the bigger engines.

I didn't have my list with me, so I couldn't check other makes and models.

It helped mine for a good month or two. Id jack the rear end up and spin the wheels to see if its catching. If it is, Id adjust the star wheel until they just barely rub or a hair past that to where they dont rub. If that doesnt help inspect the shoes and also the drums for out of roundness.
