About two years ago, I had the rear drums replaced at a local shop. Shoes weren't terribly old. I kept getting a knocking noise like someone knocking on a door (knock...knock...knock) when hitting the brakes and going to a stop. They kept taking everything apart and adjusting whatever, and it would stop, but then come back a few weeks later. I finally had it and just got new shoes at the Ford dealer and it fixed the problem.
About a month ago, took the truck in for inspection to the same shop. Had the rear wheel seal leaking all over the right rear drum and just starting to leak on the left one (but not bad... just started). The place cleaned it up and degreased everything and installed new wheel seals. Took it home and drove around a bit and smelled a burning coming from the left side drum area. Took it back to the shop and they said "the brakes needed to be adjusted, that was all". No issues for two weeks... then knock...knock...knock... same knocking issue from two weeks ago. What is causing this knocking noise? What is the shop not doing right?
The noise is a light noise and happens from around 20MPH to 0.
