Rear brakes thumping/wobble noise

[JJT211]

My rear brakes make a thumping/wobble noise when medium/hard pressure is applied. In the beginning of drjve with light pressure i dont get any noise. I tried replacing my brake pads and no fix. Thinking maybe rotors next but dknt want to keep throwing parts at it for no reason.

Any ideas?

I would suggest havin rotors turned before replacin if poss its cheaper

Im actually pretty confident its not the Rotors or pins now tha I've had a good luck at the brakes already.

Question: My dad was driving it and said he had bottomed out and banged the muffler and exhaust which dislodged them from each other. He said not too long afterwards is when he began to hear the clicking/wobbling noise from the rear brakes. We had another friend suggest the U-Joint may be bent/broken and it coming in to contact when car's weight is being going forward in one direction while slowing down.

Any other ideas....Ill be looking into it later this evening

There are no U-joints in the rear. Closest thing to a U-joint on a Camry are the CV joints in the front axles.

The parking brakes are integrated into the rear rotors; little drum brakes in the rotor hub, on the back side. Those might be needing adjustment. Try applying the parking brake lightly while moving and see if you hear any noise.

It's really hard to diagnose noises without hearing them. Is it a rubbery thumping?... or more of a metallic sound?

i had a similar sound exist from bad lateral control arm bushings. take the weight off each back wheel, grab it at 3 and 9 o'clock and see if there is any movement.
