4 months ago i heard a slight squeak, squeak, squeak noise from the LH rear when driving and it sped up as the speed increased. It got louder if I pulled the parking brake lever and stayed loud until I reversed and pulled the handbrake. On hearing a slight clunk the noise would stop forwards or backwards until I applied the parking brake again and the car rolled forwards slightly. Obviously the shoes were moving out of place in the forward motion and reseating in reverse.
Now this is the frustrating bit - I have replaced the shoes, all the springs (which cost nearly £70 for 4 on each side), the plate the shoes sit on (996 352 807 00), pad and discs (Brembo) and the problem persists. I have checked the installation with the other side. I have adjusted the parking brake - turn the adjuster until the drum wouldn't turn then slacken it by 5 clicks and also the parking brake lever ( slacken off cable then pull lever up by 2 clicks and tension the cable until the drum just starts to rub). I have checked that when the lever is off, there is no tension on the lever acting on the shoes. I am at loss what else it could be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
