Anybody know what this noise could be? It's extending from the rear side of the vehicle. First thought it was coming from the left rear brake drum, it was hotter to touch than the opposite side when I'd finished driving, so took it into the garage to get it checked out, they said the shoes were in good condition but it was missing some pins and springs which may have caused it to drag.. which they fixed. Since having the brakes checked, the noise still persists.. After the work was completed in the garage I noticed the handbrake was tighter than before I took it in (I don't have to lift it as much to fully engage, perhaps 20-25 degree less than before) could it be the shoes rubbing on the drum whilst the wheels are in motion? Or could it be relatednto another issue. Thought I'd bring it up with you guys since some of you may have had a similar experience and might be able to point me in the right direction.

Uploaded a video to YouTube to show the noise I'm referring too, it's like a rubbing sound:



TIA for your help!

I could not make out the sound in the video. Is it a rattle, scraping, ect?

Yeah it's like a scraping sound. Hard to explain, like somethings rubbing, or like a plate spinning. I'm kind of imagining that it could be the shoes rubbing on the drum - but this is just because I'm assuming it's brake related atm, it could be something else.. in the video you should be able to hear like the sound that is made when you're using sand paper or something - it's quite hard to make out over the sound of the vehicle/road but it's more prominent irl.

Unless some hose or debris is dragging on something. Check for shiny wear marks on everything else. Like drove shafts too.
