I was driving yesterday when all the sudden it sounded like something big like a hammer hit my rear drivers side wheel well, then the same tire started to sound like the front tires do when a caliper fails(constant pad/rotor scrape). After I stopped at a stop sign, it quit the scrubbing sound. Ever since, the scrubbing sound has been off and on and the boom has happened 3 more times randomly since. I'm assuming I have a wheel cylinder going out. Never had any issues from my rear brakes ever before. I looked under the car, behind the tire and noticed alittle brake fluid
On the inside of the wheel where the wheel cylinder goes. Could a wheel cylinder be the culprit for causing such boom noises?
I noticed twice after it popped, the brake pedal seemed kinda spongy when I depressed it, but would immediately pop back with the correct resistance and no longer be spongy. I'm only assuming its the wheel cylinder. They've not been changed for the whole 7 years I've had the car.
