lately i have been hearing some noises coming from the back end of the car whenever i press on the brakes but i'm not sure what it is. the noise sounds like a clanking noise like something is loose. i jacked the car up and inspected everything and didn't see or feel any looseness of anything. i have also bled my brakes as well. the noise is driving me crazy but i'm not sure what it is. could it be that i have a bad wheel bearing, or need new shoes for my drums, or something else? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

check the condition of your bushings

 

To tell from having a bad wheel bearing is jack your car with stand and spin your wheel if it makes noise (grinding) than you found your answer. Maybe it's your brakes need to change.
