I hear a rhythmic "tick tick tock" from the left rear drum upon braking. It's only noticeable right before stopping. Any suggestions before I pull the drum off? I think I'll try an adjustment first. Doesn't appear to be a CV issue, no noise on turns etc.
New brake shoes and springs last summer BTW.
Maybe a rock stuck up there? Bad spring?

Re: Rear Brake Noise
Only upon braking? Think of the emergency brake hardware too. Look for shiny spots in the wrong places once you get in there.hambone wrote:I hear a rhythmic "tick tick tock" from the left rear drum upon braking. It's only noticeable right before stopping.

Re: Rear Brake Noise
It could also be this blasted climate, when surface rust builds up in .03 seconds. The rain this year has been continuous.
I don't like slight sounds in my cars, and then there's the 42 years of it clattering down horrible roads.

Re: Rear Brake Noise
I second this. Had it happen on my '72 and my current Bus. The orientation was just slightly off and the ticking/knocking only occurred when braking.Amskeptic wrote:Only upon braking? Think of the emergency brake hardware too. Look for shiny spots in the wrong places once you get in there.
