Aside from the normal squeeks and rattles everythings fine driving down the road. When I hit the breaks I hear a knocking noise coming from the rear. It sounds as though it knocks relative to the speed of the wheels, so could this be something in the drums? Rear end gears/axles (although I don't hear it unless I'm on the breaks)? I bought new shoes, but should I get new drums too?

I'm kinda hoping it's the gears, it probably isn't, but that will give me a reason to finally get my 3:73's installed.

I would check U-joints. The inertia of the forward motion vs the opposite (braking) force can load and unload the joints.

Otherwise, make sure the shoes are wearing even. I have had a shoe get cockeyed and wear one corner as the braking occurred. The shoe was being pulled downward and it would make noise as it loaded up.

There are a ton of other things, but some quick checking should narrow down if it is something like these things or something deeper in the rear, etc.

Others will have more ideas. Good luck.
