rear brake noises
Hi Mc G,
Your rubbing noise might be something simple like a brake backplate being bent in toward the disc, maybe contacting with the outer lip of the disc where you can sometime have rust/crud buildup. If you have replaced the shoes, i doubt they would have delaminated in a few years it might also be some rust or debris inside the drum that could make a similar noise, have you tried pulling the handbrake up at slow speed ? A stuck caliper usually generates a lot of heat (you'll smell something like an overcooked clutch) after some miles due to the friction, and you probably wouldn't find the hub span too freely if you jacked up the offending wheel (assuming the handbrake was also off of course!)
