Default Rear Left wheel locks up sometimes when hitting Potholes.

My rear left wheel locks up when I'm driving over potholes sometimes. If I slow down and then speed up again it goes all back to normal and it doesn't happen every time. Got any ideas?

Caliper loose? Have you done any work on them recently? Does it make ANY noise otherwise?

Sounds like a pretty important thing to look into.

haven't done any work on the brakes in a long time. Changed the pads in the front in the summer they're still good. The rear brakes aren't making any noise either. But yea it seems as though when I hit potholes now it hits real hard suspension might be worn out a bit but that shouldn't have much to do with the wheel locking up.

Id pop em off and check, maybe the self adjuster is getting knocked around on bumps.

But what i would do is rebuild the drums, new shoes, new wheel cylinders, new drums If your are bad. And junk the self adjuster and adjust them urself. imo
