clicking sound from rear drum

Featured Replies

I took my 97 OBS into the dealer for a right rear wheel bearing replacement. The drum was so worn that the mechanic couldnt get the drum off cause the shoes wouldnt retract enough. So i had to have the rear brakes replaced too. Put about 150 miles on the car and the right rear brake is now making a click, click, click sound when I apply the brakes. No sound on acceleration, or turning. Seems to stop fine.  Any ideas. When I take it back to the dealer would be good to at least have an idea what might be wrong.

With drum brakes, it could be a problem with one of the springs. Since the click noise is loud enough for you to hear, the problem should be evident upon tear down. Yea, take it back to where you had repaired, along with your receipt.  At such low millage, and short period of time, they should make it right at no extra cost.
