It seems I'm always writing to you all for help, but that's what you get
for being so good at it. Anyway, my newest problem is a noise coming
out of the right rear wheel when I break hard. It happens after running
the car after 1/2 hr or so, and it's a periodic "clunk, clunk, ..." as
the car begins to come to a stop. It doesn't happen all the time (I
love intermitents). I got the hub off (thanks John, your articles are
great!) and visually inspected the brakes and they look OK, everything
tightly in place. The only thing I saw a bit unusual was that the
linings where a bit feathered at the adjuster end. Could bearings be
causing it? I thought bearing failure would cause more of a grinding
noise. Any ideas anyone?
