Grinding noise when in reverse
Hey guys, seem to have a little problem. The past few times I took the car out, and put it in reverse I would sometimes hear a clunking noise and I'd think I'm hitting the curb but I'm really not. Well, that problem got worse. Now when I reverse and hit the brakes on the rear right wheel it seems like it gets stuck on something and to move id have to either let go of the brakes or hit the gas to make it move. But then it just gets stuck again if I hit the gas or if I brake. If I don't hit the brakes it seems fine. It makes a loud clunking noise, quite scary. Any ideas on what the problem may be? TIA

My initial thought would be the parking brake is locking up , but it is separate from the disc brake and usually is not irritated so much by applying the foot brake. "Need more info" but you could have a loose rr caliper or a brake hose that is plugging up or its the posi chattering.
