clunk-clunk turning left

Hi All

I think there are two types of pivot, one screwed in and the other needing to be peened over.  I’ve peened over the screw in type which stops it coming out.

My front pivots screw in, with the end of the pivot finishing flush, so it can be peined. But the rear pivots are screwed into something thicker, and do not reach right through, so cannot be peined.

When they were screwed in, in the factory, I wonder how they tightened them. I use vice grips, but they do mark the ends of the pivot, and still are not very tight. Maybe it's a good idea to whip the drums off and inspect the brakes, and make sure the pivots are still tight. Maybe every thousand miles?
