Can tight rear (drum) brakes cause noises when driving?

[msrdude]

I was driving and all of a sudden I heard on the right rear side like a springing noise. I lifted my car up and when I tried to rotate the right rear wheel, it was on tight; still movable but need force to move them. My guess is the shoe and drum are touching so much that the shoe moves with the drum and when it cant go any further, the shoe springs back and making the springing noise. Is this even possible???

Also, when i adjusted my drum brakes, i made sure it was loose enough so it will not get tight and be difficult to remove the drum. Also the drum has a lot of meat on it. Lasted 6 months until it went tight. How does it go tight???

Weird part is the noise only comes when it wants to. When i brake, it would make the noise. After a few braking applications, the noise is gone.

Running out of ideas and it is not the wheel bearing because I shook the wheel at 12 and 6 o clock position and 3 and 9 o clock position and it does not move.

Wrong theory.

It wont move easily because something is BROKEN

Either a spring came off or broke or you have a wheel bearing that is failing.

Take it apart and fix it NOW before it locks up.
