whenever i hit my brake pedal, depending on the force, it is a clicking noise that is definitely related to te revolutions of the wheels. however, if i use the emergency brake to slow down, it does NOT make the noise. the noise is most definitely coming from the rear wheels though. it is extremely annoying, i have taking it to my dads dealership and they cant figure it out, 3 mech's lookin at it cant figure it out. i recently had all 4 sets of pads changer and new rotors on the front. the drum brakes are still good. i just cant figure out why it makes this noise. thanks for all advice in advance.
Sounds like an un-even drum to me, instead of being a circle, one of your drums probibly has more of an egg shape now that causes the noise whenever you brake...

I had them replaced last November, the service techs just told me that sometime drums warp over time, so I had them replaced with new ones. Now, 10 months and 11k miles later, the problem has ressurected itself - not only that, but I think I'm going to have to fight my local dealership over the replacement of them again - Nissan has a 1 year 12k mile warranty on their parts and labor - but the Service Advisor who I've delt with for 4 years recently quit her job, and not this pimpily faced kid is the Service Advisor and he isn't being very helpful.
I feel that they should pay for it because of their warranty, and because it's obvious the problem was misdiagnosed by their employees - forcing me to pay to fix a problem that would reaccur.
I've noticed that a lot of b14 vehicles have exhibited this problem - why is there such little info know about what causes the warping of the drum?!?!?!
could be the lubrication, also, the springs might not be connected correctly and something is goin' on in there. Try completely reinstalling the shoes.

Well, they told me that they were warped again (my second set of drums). They "adjusted" them for free (under the original warranty) and I was on my way. After about 100 miles of driving yesterday, I've noticed that right before I come to a stop I hear grinding vibrating noise from the back, the wibrating can also be felt through the brake petal - every once in a while I just hear funny clicking noises from the back - and I have to pull really hard on the parking break for it to enguage.
Sighhhh - back to the dealership on monday. The sad thing is, I can't drive my car at work tonight (I deliver pizzas) because I will go over the 12000 mile warranty on the parts and labor........
