2001 dodge neon rear brake problem

yes every car has them. some are disc's some are drum's..

I would take it back to where you recently got your brakes done at and have them check it.

When the rear brakes were done, the entire brake
system should have been flushed. Do that
now

You flush the system every 2 years

There is no reason to top off ANY Vehicle
fluids, as none are consummed

Go back over the rear bake work,parking brake
system and check front brakes for need work

Check power brake booster for vacuum leaks

how many miles on the car? have you replaced the rear brakes since you bought it? a common problem on the older body style neons was the brake shoes being to hard of a friction material and all you had to do was replace them and problem solved,but you could try taking the brake drums off and getting all the brake dust out of the brakes with the garden hose and using compressed air to dry them or buy a can or two of brake parts cleaner at you local parts store,hope this helps

You need a pullers to get it off.But if your lucky putting a screwdriver between the drum and back-plate and pize it when your hitting with a hammer it may come off.good luck.

if you found a leak, was is an air leak or a fluid leak? Since you state the rear brakes were leaking I assume its brake fluid. You must clean away all fluid and have the car securely supported in the air to see were the leak is coming from with someone else pressing on the brake pedal while you watch underneath the area with the problem

Neons are known to have brake noise esspecially from the rear. Try driving while holding the parking brake up for a while. Dont do it for to long but just enough to clear all the rust out of the drums. I work at a dealer and that has fixed countless noise complaints. However, if its more of a howling noise it make be one of the rear wheel bearings.

hi..the reason to this problem is your wheel
bearings.you need to check out the bearings.
This could be the problem for the loud noise.
thank u..
rate me..

your brake pad or shoe fell off... its acutally a common with cheap brakes...pull the wheel and just look at them
