Default Strange noise in rear?

This relates to my bearing thread but here goes.

When it is wet out or I go through a puddle I get a knocking sound coming from the back passenger side tire. I thought wheel bearings, replaced those and it still does it. I know the quick fix would be not to drive it when its wet out But I would like to fix whatever it is that is wrong with it. Any ideas?

Rear drum or disc?

Have you rotated your wheels to see if the sounds travels with the wheel??

Drums in the rear. I checked and double checked and those are put together properly. No I haven't rotated the tires but I will try that tommorow.

Yes the only time it does it is if its raining or I go through a puddle, but its not constant, it is only when I push the brake pedal.

sounds like your drums are warped internally... swap them and see if the sound follows

That's strange only does it when it wet out. If it did it all the time i would say the drum is out of round (meaning all the time when you hit the brakes) Try swapping the drum from one side tothe other see what happens...
