Started the car up to come home from work tonight and as I moved off, there was a loud, repetitve clonk from the nsr wheel. Seemed to be once per revolution, so I stopped to check - everything looked OK.
While braking to a stop, there was very pronounced graunching noise - no doubt rusty discs as it was raining datsun cogs this morning. This noise is normal, but the repetitive clonk? Can you get a pad move with the disc, or a handbake shoe jump like this, anybody know?

Re: Odd noise from rear brakes?
Sounds like it might pay you to get the wheel off and have a good nosey around at the pads/calipers etc. I don't think it can be to do with the inner shoes as you were using the foot brake when it happened - might be worth tugging on the handbrake lightly to see if you can recreate the noise whilst moving slowly just to check?
I wonder if the handbrake shoe had stuck to the drum in all that rain and it was kinda 'catching' for a while?

Re: Odd noise from rear brakes?
Not sure but the big worry would be the lining has separated from a shoe and is on the loose in there

Re: Odd noise from rear brakes?
Had a similar thing to this on mine sometime ago,especially when
going around right hand bends. Decided time for new pads disc's etc
so bought them dropped them and car off at local garage , when they
finished said the shoes were the reason for the noise as they were
breaking up ....

I know someone who had a Renault Clito and the rear shoes jammed and locked the wheel

Re: Odd noise from rear brakes?
Thanks guys - to clarify, I wasn't braking at the time, noise happened as I moved off and didn't happen again after first application of the brakes.
It's been OK since too.

Right, now I'm worried.
Converting the garage into a kitchen may not have been doggy's finest hour.

Re: Odd noise from rear brakes?
I was on the M6 a bit back and got stuck around J10 in the roadworks
I could here something, so got off at 10A M54 and off aj M54 J1
Jacked the car up, and as you say once per revolution, I had a noise
Took wheel off and disc was slightly warped
Maybe it's as simple as that??

Still OK so far..... I'll hold my breath till Saturday, (60 miles to go).
...and the weather forecast is, 'Chance of rain'. I estimate about 100% chance.
