<html><DIV>hey all,</DIV>
<DIV>this started a couple of weeks ago halfway between new york and st. louis.&nbsp; but what happens is as i slow to a stop, and then drive off again, a knock comes from the rear.&nbsp; when i got to st. louis, i unloaded my stuff and drove around town with the knock being only once in awhile.&nbsp; now i have reloaded the van because i am enroute to montana tomorrow.&nbsp; now i drove the van loaded tonight and the knock is back louder then ever.&nbsp; it feels as if something is sticking.&nbsp; rear brakes?&nbsp; the knock is inconsistent of using the brakes. for instance, i slowed to a stop using my gears, then i proceeded to drove off and low and behold, the knock.&nbsp; could this be something going on with my wheels that acts up when the van is loaded with my stuff?&nbsp; what could be going on back there and what can i expect to happen as i drive off the next 1600 miles to missoula montana?&nbsp; this knock is fairly consistent and happens 8 out of 10 times.</DIV>
