Drum or disc brakes?

After you drive around is one of the wheels really hot to the touch?

They're drum brakes, not that I could tell, I did a circle around my court a sack and back in the garage and I could smell it

If you just installed it (rear end) and it hadn't been run, it could be odd smelling /breaking in. Jack up rear end, spin tires, same amount of drag left to right? One stops faster than the other, that usually means that side is dragging, adjust it.
