Karlp Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Only just noticed this, but had my window open whilst driving today and could hear a slight metal jangling noise coming from my rear passenger wheel. Ive inspected the wheel as I thought it might be the centre cap on the wheel spinning around and moving but its not and all wheels bolts are firmly in place, it seems to be coming from the actual drum itself and onl happens at certain times, its not anything loose as when I go over a bump theres no sound? Wondering if it could be the handbrake shoes??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Adding to Alexs' suggestions...... Has use of the handbrake operation changed - in 1st class condition it has never been the greatest item on the ZEDs but I was just wondering if one of the return/holding springs has broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlp Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks guys just took it to my local garage said pads look fine, they think its the handrake shoes as the handbrake is squeaking a lot when on and the car is trying to move.

ZMANALEX Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Did they take the wheels off and check the inside pad? Did they check that the back plate does not require a slight repositioning? Are the pads loose within the caliper and moving slightly. Does the noise go away when you slightly touch the brake pedal? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Hi mate no kept wheels on inspected under car then put it on the rolling road testing brakes and handbrake and said the noise is coming from inside the drum itself on the passenger side. Noise it stil there whether Im braking or not dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
