Poor steering in the Sherman that gets worse over time can be the fault of poorly adjusted brakes or a poor operator. If the brakes are dragging they will get hot and end up glazing the pads and brake drums, if someone likes to keep pressure on the levers or make long turns with the lever applied instead of shorter chopping motions the drums will get very hot, I have even seen them crack. Drums can be removed and resurfaced but pads will need to be replaced.
