I need your help guys, Sound coming from the rear D/S tire..

[edirtymo]

So i looked all around the forums, and google, but never really found anything about what the problem could possibly be, first thought was the wheel bearing but it doesnt seem right for some reason.

First off its a 91 325i Completly stock, no suspension mods or anything. And only has 113k on it..
Heres the symptoms:
ONLY hear it when turning at a slow speed (pulling in or out of parking spots or turning out of a stop sign)
ONLY hear it when im turning.
Doesnt make the sound at all when im driving straight or going anything above 10 mph..
It sounds really simialer to a wheel rubbing on the inside of the wheel well but my car isnt lowered yet.
Kind of like a clunkclunkclunk sound..
Cv axles are good, diff is full.
I know the shocks all around are bad.
Rear e brake doesnt work, you can pull the handle but the car still rolls so i know the rear breaks need to be replaced..

Thats pretty much it. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys

Rear shock mounts? Maybe the lug bolts are too long? Also the cover boots to the rear shox could be causing the clunking noise, even a trailing arm., just a thought.

That combination of symptoms would make me first suspect the differential or a half shaft.

First check shock mounts. it's about due at that mileage. Might as well change shocks too while you're in there. 2nd. Most probably if not a combination from shock mounts is the emergency brake shoes may have separated from the backing plate. a very common problem. Since you need rear brakes might as well pull the rotors off and inspect the hold down hardware for the shoes and while you're at it might as well change the shoes.
usually the pins pull through the backing plate misaligning the shoes and they touch or rub the inside of the rotor. if that is the case and the hole isn't too big you can washer it like I did with mine and you're good to go. Otherwise ad new backing plates to the list too! :-) this would mean removal of hub and bearing. or the cheater way is the cut the backing plate and twist it around the hub assembly and then tack weld back.

you're gonna have to spend some money here my friend.

2 rotors
1 rear pads
1 rear shoes
1 possible e-brake hardware kit.
2 shock mounts
2 shocks.

good luck
