Marco Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 My S2a is making a funny 'tak tak tak' noise on braking, it's coming from the back of the vehicle. Could it be the brake shoes or should I expect more to be wrong? Never ever heard it before on my 109 vehicles. Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 There should be some retainers to stop the leading edge of the trailing shoe lifting off the pivot, are these in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 There should be some retainers to stop the leading edge of the trailing shoe lifting off the pivot, are these in place? Thanks. Will have to dismantle / inspect. But first looking at part catalog (S3, 88), maybe you can list the retainer part? I do see two springs and the locking plate at the bottom of both shoes but nothing labeled as retainer in catalog. Presume it's the locking plate 236993 & 236995?

rtbarton Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I think locking plate is the proper name, it's shaped like a keyhole, held in place with two screws and a tab washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that must be it, I know it's in place but will have to take the drums off to check if it's tight. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
