My 91 lx's right rear drum is making a rubbing noise that changes in relation to speed. It sounds like there is one place where it is rubbing with each revolution. I had the drums shaved down a few months ago. At least that's what I think they did. Not really sure, but the repair place said the noise I was hearing more than likely came from the front brakes (which need replaced). Unless sounds coming from the front of the car can now shift positions and come from the rear, I'm starting to think the guy did absolutely nothing to my car. This problem has gotten worse over the past few weeks, and it is starting to sound kinda serious now. If anybody else has had a similar problem, please let me know.

I tried searching, but didn't find anything relevant.

The drum brakes may have been re-assembled incorrectly. Nothing to do but pull the wheel and brake drum and check for broken, missing parts.

good luck

 

Turns out I was missing a lugnut. Hopefully it was the alignment place forgetting to put it on and not some random jobless specimine of the decay of western society trying to steal my wheels. Anywho, a new set of nuts was purchased (higher quality, look harder to steal) and everything is fine. Thanks for the input though Katy.
