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?

A) this is not celica related thus #wrongforum laugh.gif

B) probably have a retainer/spring that isn't on right or something is loose letting it rock inside the drum. Make sure you've properly set the adjustment to start with and that everything is locked in and drum is fully seated.

C) I have never heard of going in reverse and slamming on the brakes...and i've done several drum changes.
