doobs

drove the car a few days ago and now have yet to drive it. when i drove it a few days ago when i would brake in the back right quarter you would hear a knocking noise going with the tire rotation. the brakes seemed to be ok so when i got home i looked at the wheel well. it looked fine as well as the tire so im thinking that the brake drum is messed up. any ideas?

Hmmm...Maybe a broken spring in there??Theres not many things back there that could make a knocking noise

thats what i was thinking when you said their arn't many things back there to make the thumping noise...we'll get to it sooner or later. not that big of a deal. just wanted to make sure that i wasn't the only one who thought it had to do with the brake drum

Mine comes from the rear left, and I thought that I was the only one, wow this is amazing now that three people have the same problem, maybe someone has a solution?

Mine was left rear as well. I put new brake drums on and it fixed it. But that might not be your solution.

That maybe my solution, idk when the last time that they have been replaced... Last time my drums were off (about 300 miles ago) they looked fairly new.

yea i have that same porb its like a scraping/ knocking noise that comes from my right rear wheel.....i just bought all new brakes and stuff so im hopin that will fix it.......it only started makin that noise after i power braked it one day.....and when i hit the brakes it goes away even if i just barely push on the brakes

have you checked your wheel bearings?

if you just barely hit your brakes and it goes away then it has to be your brake drum i mean it would make the most sense if you were driving and you put friction on it and it goes away maybe its wobbling? tear it apart!
