Hello,

My 07 76k miles freelander has a knock coming from the rear when braking. It doesn't happen all the time but is bloody annoying. I've checked the guidepins on both sides and replaced the bolts. I'm now stumped. Can anyone tell me what I can do next?? Is there a common fault like a piston on these?

Thanks.

Maybe something to do with the handbrake shoes?

Maybe a silly question but have you checked everything is secured in the spare wheel housing? I get a knock if I have anything in the boot not tied down. Could be your jack or something else is a bit loose.

Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty sure the spare wheel and other bits are secure but can't say the same for anything under the car. I'll take a closer look at the handbrake shoes at the weekend. The handbrake mechanism on the drivers rear was siezed a while back and I did strip it down. I'll need to double check it.

Check the exhaust mountings too. ______________________
