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?

It's a Corolla, so odds are it uses the same or similar setup to the Celica ST. Close enough. tongue.gif

That'd be something you could see though, unless he's just somehow overlooking it. Hmm, could take off the driver side and look at it for comparison.

You haven't been around old domestic cars then. tongue.gif
