Have a '89 S10 Blazer 2WD. When braking on a smooth road (actually any road) there is load clunk sound from the rear passenger side. The clunk usually happens about midway through stopping and usually only occurs once. Happens while driving straight ahead or turning.
I recently changed my rear drum brakes replacing the drums, shoes, return and hold down springs (problem was ocurring before I did this and continues after the brake job) and noticed that the passenger side wheel cyliner was loose, I could turn it closewise about 1/4". The driver side was tight and had no play. I assumed that the retaining clip that holds the cylinder to the backing plate was worn and since the wheel cylinder looked questionable I decided to replace it. After installing the new wheel cylinder and new retaining clip, it's still as loose as the old one was.
Is it normal for the wheel cylinder to have a little play or should it be tight? If it should be tight and considering I've already replaced the cylinder and retaining clip, what can I do to secure it?
Thanks, John
