Lastnight i was driving my friends 2000 eclipse and i noticed a noise from the car.

When i am driving and go to slow down (not downshifting) , just using my breaks ,

I hear some banging type noise coming from the back of my car. It sounds like it

is coming from my breaks or shocks or somethin in the back. I can't figure this

out. Any comments? I just don't want to give it back to him with something wrong.

Sorry if it's lacking detail. The noise only happens when you are using the breaks.

It starts making a bumping noise in the rear. One of my friends said it could be as

small a problem as a piece of dirt.

 

I had something similar happen to my teg's rear brakes last week... first I thought my pads were shot, but they were fine. Then I figured my ABS was on the fritz, even though my brakes were working fine. A couple days later, no noise

 

Yea my friends said it might just be sand.

 

could be a loose exhaust. sounds can be a **** load of things... you gotta get under the car and look around.

 

Could also just be something shifting around in the rear compartment, jack, tire, tools, whatever.
