    Danijel,
    I doubt that the truck leaning to the left rear would affect the front
    right brake. Here is what I can think of that you might want to check:

    Have you pulled the drum on that wheel and made sure there's no leaky hub
    seal that has contaminated your new pads?

    Have you adjusted the snail cams on all four wheels so that the shoes are
    positioned near the drums?

    Does anyone know if 88" front shoes are sided, leading and trailing? If
    so, it's possible that you have both leading shoes on one wheel and both
    trailing shoes on the other one. Any 88" owners wanna comment?

    bill
