Hello, new member here. I have 65 Koupe. Bought new tires had them mounted and balanced. Drove a few weekends all was good. Upon looking some weights had came off. Took just tires in got rebalanced 2nd time. Now I have harsh vibration when braking. It is drum brakes all around. Any thoughts what is wrong? Thanks in advance. Looking forward to learning here.
Vibration steering wheel

I would start by removing the wheels and then put them back on and be sure to use a star pattern when you torque the lug nuts. Do you have stock type wheels? The stock wheels are lug centered while some aftermarket wheels are hub centered though that in its self shouldn’t cause a problem.
This would be the easiest thing to check. -

If the vibration is strictly only when applying the brakes, it is likely that you have hard spots on the drums from heating of the shoes against the drums upon hard braking. This is a common problem with both drum and disc brakes. A balance problem will show up at different speeds regardless of whether you are braking or not.
