E-Brake Activates With a Loud THUD
 

Just wondering, when you're moving, does anyone's e-brake activate with a loud thud when pulled? I'm not talking about drifting, just at say <5mph? Wonding if something is wrong or just normal "sounds." Thanks.

Normal play in the drum. Don't use the brake while moving unless it's an EMERGENCY and you won't hear that sound.

yup. every one i've driven in does that. haven't bothered to chase it down.

Try it in any other car and get back to us with the result....pretty sure we all know already.

Thanks all...guess that is how a drum brake works.

I thought it had.disc brakes all the way around

e-brake is a drum. Rear are drum/disc. (drum for e-brake only)

O.o really? I didn't know that

All it needs is to have the parking shoes adjusted. Mine went away after I adjusted them

Look at rear brakes. There's two sets of "brake lines"... one goes to the caliper, other goes to the rear hub.

Rear disc + drum parking brake.

Are you in gear while activating the e-brake?

Normal sound

That's the anchor hitting the ground.
