N/S knocking... Again...

[JClark]

A while ago i posted a thread about a knocking noise coming from the n/s rear wheel. Since then it seems to have gotten worse and is now knocking constantly when my car is moving.

I'm gonna have a go at stripping and cleaning the drum brake and see if this makes a difference, but has anyone got any ideas what it could be?

bearing.
rear arm?

Wheel bearing is most likely mate, cheap and easy fix also.

I thought wheel bearing was 1) a grinding noise and 2) uber expensive!

Jack the wheel up and try to wobble the wheel, there should only be a tiny bit of free play in the wheel. If its a lot of wobble, it could be the nut with the split pin is too loose or the bearing isn't right.

Update: There is no evident wobble i could feel so i'm guessing the bearing is fine, however i did notice that the brake shoes are touching the drum at one part of the revolution, possible cause?
