Nasty vibration coming from the rear brakes
#1
Ok now, after doing the rear brake shoes on my Cit xsara, I have a nasty vibration coming from the rear brakes. It seems to happen when I brake from higher speed only, no vibration when going straight or when cornering. 

I can also make the vibration happen by lifting the handbrake slightly when going at speed. 

What I have checked so far:

The rear brakes are adjusted properly and the handbrake has a good hold. 

No significant brake shoes dragging when turning the wheels by hand, there is some though (I do believe that there needs to be some slight drag anyway) 

I don't think its the rear beam itself, doesn't look knackered at all, tbh

I don't think its a wheel bearing issue as there is no noise or no play when the wheels are jacked up. 

The brakes are good, simply the whole rear of the car vibrates when braking from higher speed. 

Could simply brake drums be warped like brake disks?  Huh
