Here's a strange one

This Yale GLC030AFNUAE082, A809N, had a brake issue. When the tires were pulled, 2 upper brake springs on 1 side were broken, and 1 upper brake spring on the other side was broken. Any outsides causes, or just tired brake springs? Strange for 3 out of 4 springs to brake all in a same time frame.

Where the self adjusters working correctly & the brake adjustment OK? Maybe brakes were too loose? Was there any rust (outside enviroment)? I've had both those issues

Everything looked ok. The brakes were alittle worn because they pushed againest the drums for a time.

No, no brake work recently. The truck runs an average of 6 hours a day, 5 days for the past 5 years. And they are hard hours, busy season is 8 hours at least, slow season about 4

this truck had any brake work done recently or anytime in the past? maybe the tech inadvertantly damaged the springs when re-installing them and they just broke. Yes this is unusual.
