I recently replaced the drum brakes and shoes on my girlfriends Corolla. After the repair, the right rear side has an audible knocking/thumping sound that only happens when you press on the brake. You can also feel the thumping through the brake pedal.
Anyone run into this issue before? I pulled the drum off and everything looked fine. My only guess is that there is something going on with the adjuster. Either is not working correctly, or I didn't adjust it out enough? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

The adjuster should do it's own thing and adjust over time, but I think the procedure I mentioned was for after installing new shoes and/or drums. I can't remember exactly, it's been years since I've owned that Cadillac now. Can give it a shot, but I'm thinking it may be a surface issue from the factory. If something were wrong with the adjuster, I'd think it'd be visibly noticeable.
