You stated,
"Inverted installation of the shoes springs would cause the hub to brush against them to emit clicking noise when brakes are applied."

I have this.
Do you mean the upper or lower brake spring, please explain further.
Thanks so much.

It is a Caravan, known problem with the rear shoe brakes when braking from 25 to 0 mph.
"Inverted installation of the shoes springs would cause the hub to brush against them to emit clicking noise when brakes are applied."
inverted how, upside down, left right, upper or lower spring etc.
I wrote to the tech that wrote that.

Yes this makes sense because if the springs are not installed correctly they can protrude outward contacting the drum as is rotates.

Here is guide to help you see what I am talking about:
