rear brakes loud single pop

Post by bassplayaz06 »

so... im driving along in my 03 GT and i come to a stop sign and hit the brakes, medium-hard-ish and each side in the rear makes a single pop noise. i took it to advance auto and asked the dude about it and he said it was my shocks not getting lube. i took them off and looked at them, they were fine. springs a bit soft, but dad says thats how its supposed to be. the pop continues and i have no clue whats wrong. calipers and pads are fine and greased up so they arent sticking. any clue?

Bleed the rear brakes and check the rear suspension for anything loose!

i've checked the suspension, and how might bleeding the brakes help? also how do you add a picture to your signature?

Just like a normal pic!

oh, i forgot to mention what the advance auto guy said to fix it. load up the back with alot of weight, and go over the railroad tracks really fast and give them a workout.
