Hey guys i have a creaking noise coming from the passenger rear drum brake. most noticable under braking. and loudest at slow speeds mostly when brakes are lightly applied. just replaced the shoes and springs. backing plate seems to be straight and not warped. Im not sure what to try. Im thinking either drum warped or bearing, but the symptoms dont really point to either.

 

if it's anything like mine it's the bushings at the front of you leaf springs. Spray lots of WD40 into the bushing see if that helps.

 

Well mines definintly when the tires are rolling. Ive tried letting off the brake then stomping them hard to see if its springs, shocks or bushings. Nothing happens in that scenario though

 

Are the drums within spec? Did you clean & apply a "small" amount of hi temp synthetic grease to the pivot points when you installed the shoes?

 

X2......You did have the drums turned and checked I guess as that sounds like what it may be or not lubed.

 

The contact points were greased the drum was not turned and checked i was gonna swap the back drums today to see if thats it.
