Recently I just changed the brakes all around my vehicle.
I replaced rotors, pads, drums, shoes, and spring kit. I bleed all the lines except for the driver side rear because the valve broke off trying to loosen it. I took the vehicle for a test run afterwards and noticed a knocking while I am braking. It sounds as if it is coming from the rear drivers side wheel. The knocking sounds speed corresponds with the speed of the vehicle. The knocking sound is not present unless I apply the brakes. I took it to a shop and they were unable to diagnose it. I believe it has something to do with the rear brake because I hear the knocking when I pull on the emergency brake while in motion.
I thought it may have been because of the unbleed brake so I replaced the wheel cylinder for the new bleeder valve. I was able to bleed it but the knocking is still present.
Should I just suck it up and reassemble the rear brake? Do you guys think it could be anything else?
