Well, I make a topic earlier about how reliable my car was (2001 Chrysler Concorde LXI). For the past few days, whenever I press on the brakes (even a little) it starts making a knocking sound from the drivers side rear brakes. What could this be?

Do you know how to do a brake repair ? If not then you need a brake shop before something breaks and your brakes fail.
