Rear Drum Noise
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 9:30 pm
Hello everybody!
Ive been battling with my mk1 gls trying to get it to pass an mot and in the process have replaced the majority of the breaking system. The fun part was finding out that the rear shoes had been replaced at some point with the wrong part and bodged to fit!
I now have all the correct parts fitted but there is a noise coming from the drums when you turn the wheels. It sounds as if the drum is touching some part of the fitting kit or handbrake cable as it's definitely got a springy kind of sound to it. There seems to be no difference to the sound no matter how you adjust the shoes, (it's got the early manual adjuster). I
At this point I'm a bit stuck, I spent a good few cold hours in the workshop the other night taking both sides apart and had not a great deal of success!
Does anybody know if the backplates are vastly different across the various mk1 dubs? (it's the only bit I haven't replaced)
Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received!
Thanks very much.
