Armored_Saint Neutral Newbie January 20, 2003 Share January 20, 2003 Did the usual this morning...started the ignition, released handbrake and threw gear into one. Suddenly a loud bang from the rear of the car. Wheels were not punctured. No objects underneath the carriage... What could it be? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magfocus 5th Gear January 20, 2003 Share January 20, 2003 Perhaps the brake pads were seized onto the discs?? The rear brakes i mean.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel4fun Neutral Newbie January 20, 2003 Share January 20, 2003 Maybe the combustion out of the rear exhuast ? Could happen if during a cold start and the mixture is too rich... Juz a thought... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored_Saint Neutral Newbie January 21, 2003 Author Share January 21, 2003 (edited) I'm on brake drums on the rear; it did feel like it was coming out from the one of the rear wheels... The combustion theory might be possible too. The beans theory is out! I'd thought it was a misfire... Well, nothing looks or feels weird today.

Saaber Neutral Newbie January 21, 2003 Share January 21, 2003 Well, it might not be your car...Could be from elsewhere.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear January 21, 2003 Share January 21, 2003 I agreed with Magfocus, it could be due to the rear drum brake shoes being stuck to the drum, after you pull your hand brake Get your mech to take a look at the rear drum brake shoes, it could be time to change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear January 21, 2003 Share January 21, 2003 Yeah, like what Vtim said, it could be the drum shoes stuck to the drum.. It happened to me before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vtim 3rd Gear January 21, 2003 Share January 21, 2003 (edited) oh, that's something new to me didn't know it'll happen to rear discs also , so far, all the past 3 cars that I've own are all rear drum brakes including my current Civic Edited January 21, 2003 by Vtim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored_Saint Neutral Newbie January 22, 2003 Author Share January 22, 2003 ok...guess it'll be the rear brake drums...but this is definitely a first for me... any considerable damage to the brake pad/drum in such an instance? The handbrake and everything still feels normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 22, 2003 Share January 22, 2003 Did you wash your car the night before the banging sound? If so, definitely sticking rear brakes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored_Saint Neutral Newbie January 22, 2003 Author Share January 22, 2003 TB: You're right on the money I washed my car the night before. Here's an experience from someone else I read: "Finally got around to putting in the rear brake pads and checking out the problem with the parking brake "banging" when moving after releasing it on the 86 240GL Wagon. The apparent cause was corrosion in the connection between the cable and the first lever/cam. This is supposed to pivot when actuating/releasing the parking brake-- one side was totally stuck. A little WD-40 and a lot of manually pivoting freed it up, then added a small bit of motorcycle chain lube. Did the same with the second pivot point, cleaned things up, and reassembled. It seems to have cured the problem. The cables were not hung-up in any way. It looks as though enough moisture gets into the parking brake area to cause corrosion if things are not kept lubricated. Living in the snow/salt belt probably doesn't help." That's what happened to me after releasing the parking brake! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
