What's up everyone, noob here...I searched, but I couldn't find any posts with a problem exactly like mine, so here's what's going on:
I was driving around town one day and hit the brakes normally at a light. Right before I came to a stop, I heard something from the rear passenger wheel pop and start to scrape. As I drove back home, the scraping got louder and louder; I thought a wheel bearing exploded at first, but the noise would just randomly come and go. So after taking things apart a few times, I finally see that the parking brake shoe retaining spring broke and caused the shoe to jam itself into the rotor hat. I completely disconnected the parking brake assembly on the pass. side, put everything back together, and drove the car; no noise at all. I thought I had fixed the problem...
That was a couple of weeks ago; now the last few days, there has been a ticking/tapping/sometimes loud clacking noise coming from the same wheel. I've had this damn thing apart 5 times now, and I can't seem to find what's causing it. It happens randomly and the noise is never exactly the same; it doesn't matter if I'm accelerating, braking or coasting, although it isn't as loud when the car is above 30mph or so.
Any ideas?
