				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 repair kit is under $10 off Rock Auto, so may just want to go ahead and replace it.
