Clicking from parking brake
Had a clicking noise coming from rear wheels after trailing arm/rear end rebuild(see my previose treads
)
Definately coming from parking brake- (Eliminated diff/ujs/wheel bearings etc.)
Noise only happens when setting off in forwards or reverse, dissaperes when car gets moving.
Had the parking brakes apart a few times now and cant seem to solve this noise?
Tried different shoes, changed the stainless hardware back to oem, fettled/greased every moving/sliding part and got this parking brake working abseluetly perfect now-but still got the clicking?
Checked the shoe hold down springs for clearance against back of hub studs- very close, could be catching when hub is under load? remedy??
Also suspisious of the new aftrmarket (ecklers) brake shield,the way the shoes sit/ride on them.
Anyone had/heard of this problem before?
Any help, ideas, solutions much appreciated- im really stick with this one now and its driving me nuts

I have not had good luck with the aftermarket backing plates-I had to bend the plate around the hold downs to keep them from hitting on spindle rivets-on yours now that they are installed you can go in with a long punch and tap several times around base of spring-push the spring to the side with the punch so you can bend it right at the nail holes-this will shorten the spring

Not sure for definate if it is the hold downs hitting the rear of the studs?

Anything else to look for when i get them apart (again )
