Fernando87mj Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Sorry for bugging yall but my jeep has seemed to of had developed a new issue and I need help identifying what it is ): . It sounds sounds sorta like a brake lath or kinda like a hissing metal noise , it has the sound while driving , or while coasting in neutral. (Dana44 tracklok ) I took a vid of the noise while pushing the truck with the engine off . https://vimeo.com/115887193 Thanks in advance :)
ftpiercecracker1 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 There is very little clearance between the brake drum and the dust shield. If the dust shield gets bent it can rub up against the brake drum and cause a constant raspy metal sound. Or your brakes could just need replacing. Does the sound start as soon as you begin to move? Have you noticed the truck dragging when you let off the accelerator, as if the brake is applied slightly? When did it start? Have you taken the truck off road recently?
Fernando87mj Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 It started yesterday , I drive about 40 miles yesterday and after that drive I hear the sound , and I let the truck coast in neutral yesterday and I didn't notice any dragging , and i haven't been off road but thanks for your help ! Ill check the dust shield !
Fernando87mj Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Took the drum off and this fell out ? Any clue on what it is ? Seems to go right here It has it on the other side
ComancheKid45 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 That's 1 of the pins that hold the brake shoe on....a quick stop by your local auto parts store for a new hardware kit will give you 1 to replace it

Keyav8r Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 A hardware kit would get rid of the noise, but I would go ahead and do a rear brake job. Everything looks pretty rusty in there.

Fernando87mj Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Turns out it was a spring that had broken into many pieces , I found a replacement set with new springs and the little studs
Fernando87mj Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 I wanted to get new shoes but none were available locally , Instead I'm collect parts for a rear disc brake swap for the 44 :)
91Pioneer Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 ...but I would go ahead and do a rear brake job. Everything looks pretty rusty in there. Every drum brake equipped vehicle in these parts has rusty brake drum bits. Looks normal I don't even see the rust LOL - lots of life left on those shoes.
Fernando87mj Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Probably because it never snows here in Vegas
