I just replaced my drum brakes on the back of my 01 1500 4x4, I replaced the brake pads and springs on the inside. Now when I drive at low speeds (under 15) and I'm driving straight there's a clicking noise, almost like the noise of a baseball card in bike spokes. I've never worked on brakes before and I thought I got it all right but I cant figure out what I messed up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Jack up the rear of the truck, and spin the tires. (by hand.... if that'll work...) see if you can determine which side it is coming from. Pull it apart, and have a look.

 

It's coming from the left and I've taken it apart to try to figure it out and I'm stumped, my next step is to take it to a brake shOp but that can be pricey

 

do you hear the noise with the drum off?

 

while its jacked up, spin the wheel in question with the drum cover off, see whats clicking.

Im far from an expert on brakes, but I think this can be done?

 

That's actually a good idea, idk why I didn't think Of that

 

Zman would be proud, I had a good idea, LOL.
