[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 639141, member: 20098"] I believe if the splines are allowing even the tiniest amount of rotational play that the rear drum can begin to wear on the inner spacer that it butts up against. The drum will start to be worn down at this point as it moves back and forth, and eventually will lead to it being loose. So although the hub nut hasn’t moved, the drum has effectively shifted inboard slightly. Might be worth slipping the drum off and checking the condition of this inner face. If it wears enough and is repeatedly re-tightened, the drum can end up catching the backing plate which could explain the noise you’re hearing? [/QUOTE]
