rear end noise 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be macs245 on  Thu Nov 2 08:09 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I have some clunking & rubber squish type sounds from some suspension component or other in the rear end of my 240 wagon.

In the last year and a half I have replaced the rear shocks, replaced the torque rod bushings with poly, and 2 weeks ago replaced the trailing arm bushings with poly bushings.

I still hear a clunk sometimes, and an odd rubber type squishy noise.

For the clunk I'm wondering about the internal brake shoes for the parking brake. Any easy way to check the operation of these? The parking brake does hold. Not too sure about the rubbery noise, especially because the new poly TABS just have an internal metal sleeve with no rubber inside that the bolt rides on like the old ones.

I suppose the clunk could be the bolts in the bushings as the car switches direction after backing out of the drive.

Any ideas?
Could the brake shoes for the parking brake sieze up inside the drum if they were to come loose?

Thanks
