Here's a problem in need of a remedy.
The rear brakes will screech coming to a stop. The drum is ok, the pad surface is fine, however the part closest to the wall of the drum is very shiny, as if it was rubbing on the wall of the drum. Moving the assembly by hand gives a bit of play... as I know little about vehicles, let alone axles my thought was... the axle is loose. But I am not sure if axles can be loose.
Could a "C" clip be broken? Could wear have caused a gap? Could the brakes be assmbled improperly causing them to rub when the brakes are applied?
Did a search for brake/axle problems... couldn't find anything like this.
Any and all replies are appreciated.
