JWX Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 sometimes when I am turning and braking I have this "whoop,whoop" sounds it doesn't do it all the time and I don't think it matters which way I am turning. anybody know what it might be? I'm think something along the line of the backing plate rubbing on the rotor or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Are the rear brake on this one drum or disk?I'll sometimes get that on the '84 w/drums,because the shoe will walk a little bit. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
