JerryP Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 My 2012 TC still has a banking or knocking noise from the rear when I apply brakes. This noise has happened before when it needed new rear brakes but I had them replaced and drums turned last week. The noise is still there. Usually when I have driven for half a day and they’re warmed up but sometimes when they are cold in the AM. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidparker Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Check the rear shock absorbers. The bushings or even the shocks may be worn out. But it does sound like a bushing somewhere in the rear suspension. JerryP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 If you are going down a long hill with the brakes applied does the noise repeat at a certain rate or is it once per brake application ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on light application going down hill but on heavier braking when I stop it starts banging. Today I can feel it through the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it doesn’t seem like brakes, although that’s when the noise occurs. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogMom Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This issue can also be a manufacturer defect in a brake drum. Requiring the drum to be re spun on a machine. This solved the thumping noise when I pressed on the brakes. Simple inexpensive repair.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
