So I hear a clunking sound coming from the back tire or front tire - pretty sure back driver side

clunk clunk clunk when I start to move - it goes away at faster speeds - well probably just can't hear it going fast!!

I think it was there before I had complete brake job due to emergency brake left on then brakes going.

Before I go back - any ideas of what is going on and if it is dangerous for me to drive?

thanks,

Janet, This happened to me once. It turned out to be a nut had fallen off and lodged between the wheel and the hubcap. It was clanging against the hubcap at low speeds, but at high speeds, centrifugal force maintained its position so it stopped. Best wishes, Gary Anderson MS_WESTY (85)
