![]() I get this half grinding, half droning noise from the rear of the car kinda as if the bearings were going out. But there's a catch... i hear it when i'm accellerating and coasting, but it goes away when I'm braking. I haven't had a chance yet to look under the car, but do you think it may just be a simple brake drum adjustment? Or do you think it's something that needs immediate attention?
Thanks John

![]() Jack up the back of the car, put it in neutral, and spin the tires by hand. Odds are you'll locate the problem right away. My guess would be a broken spring in one of the rear drums. They should always be replaced at the same time as the shoes, so if they're original, it's even more likely.
Take care, -Chris
