I had my rear drum brakes done recently and ive started to get a thumping noise everytime i release the brakes. Any ideas would be great thx

Could be a few things, like adjustment, spring, or shoes. If you had them done somewhere takeit back. Also does the noise continue if you apply a a little pressure via the emergency brake?

I had a similar noise but turned out to be a lug nut in the front wheel rolling around behind the center cap.

i havent tried the e-brake yet but ill get back to you on that and yes i had it done at a shop. I took it back already and they looked at the drums and said they looked fine but the noise is still there.

So tell them to fix the noise. WTF kinda place did you have it seviced at!!

The emergency brake could help pinpoint if the drums need to be turned or it all may be just a coincidence and the wheel bearing is going. Either way the shop should be or should have been able to tell the difference.

Apparently thedrums were turned and its a shop that deals with mustangs only but im going to go over to the shop and take the mechanic for a drive so he can hear this f'ing noise. Ill get back to ya
