I have recently noticed that everytime i brake theres a horrible like crunching noise that i think is coming from the rear of the car, and i dont think it sounds like the pads need replcaing !
I wondered if i need new drums at the back !?

[chumkila]

crunching noises arent good Fezzy. if i was u i'd get my rear wheels off and check the drums.

uh oh ! uve got me worried now chum ! The noise has defo got louder over the past week ! what am i going to be looking for with the wheels off then !?
Sumone please help !

Look for any signs of metal been cutting into the drums i.e. putting grooves into the drum or flakes of metal.

Ill go have a look now chum ! i probably explained it a bit wrong tho the noises are more sort of like a scrapping like sandpaper, like theres sumthing that has worn down that needs replacing ! If it is the drums how much is it likely to cost !? as i woz planning on doing a rear disc conversion and now mite b a good time !

[festasi]

if the shoes jus need replacing then they aint alot...if the actual drum does...aint sure on price. shudnt b too expensive i wud [ERRR]. just make sure u do both sides at the same time

New drums from Ford are probably around £80, so if you were planning a read disc conversion now would be a good time
