Hello All! Hope everyone is ok.
While i am driving my corolla 2008, i am hearing a clanking sound. it almost sounds like a small metal pipe is being dragged on the road for a few seconds. it is not constant. the sound has no rhythm to it.
just random clanking for a few seconds and then it is fine for a minute or two. i was driving around 25mph. can you guys please let me know what you think it is?
i do want you guys to know that i engage and test the hand brake once a while and i used it a few hours ago to slow down a hill from 50mph to 0 mph. ( if this might have done something.)
i am very positive it is coming from the back bottom of the car.
The sound is occurring during normal driving not just during braking. i just got the brake shoes changed last year.
when i am braking the sound is coming to a stop in tandem with the car .
EDIT: The sound is similar to a railroad crossing bell!!
thanks a lot!
