Just pulling from a parking lot onto main street, and "Bang". Pulled over to check all tires. All OK. Drove slowly with rear clunking noises to a nearby large parking lot.

Jacked up rear end left side and looked at everything. Drive shafts no slack, CV joints looked OK, could not figure it out.

Drove slowly and clunkily home.

Called my indie shop next morning. They found that the part of the rear rotor that forms the drum for the e-brake shoes had cracked loose from the rest of the rotor. The piece was just clomping around as the drive shaft rotated.

I now have two new rear rotors and four new e-brake shoes on the car. In my garage are four used e-brake shoes, one re-useable rear rotor and one two-piece rear rotor. The piece that broke off would have been a ring, but it was broken across the ring, too.

Of the four e-brake shoes, one had full thickness lining, the other three were worn down to bare metal.

Perhaps we were just lucky that no e-brake usage was required.

Just another 960 quirk. The shop said mine was the second or third such that they had ever seen.

Regards,

Bob, near Houston
