Well I've got a banging in the rear 
Actually it's a clunk/pop/bang/pink/thud/thunk/whatever noise drum brakes make when coming loose after binding.
I did some investigating. By that I mean some no music, low speed, head out the window driving. I applied brakes completely in PRND. In park you can hear the shoes press onto the drum (the light popping you always hear). When I let off they release no problem. In reverse same situation. No problem. In neutral you can hear them apply and release only part of the way if you roll forward. About maybe an inch or two forward bang! (Pop, pink, boom, thud, clunk etc whatever sound you imagine it being.) same thing in drive. It's not a single spot worn in the drum. I can do it numerous times in a row. It also does it any time the brakes are applied sufficiently enough to slow you down even when rolling along at road speeds up to 70. Prolly will above that too but I'd lose my hat if I stuck my head out. So I have something hanging up whilst rolling forward. Works fine backward and stationary with no positive pressure on the drums/shoes. I have one new wheel cylinder passenger side. I have not pinpointed the side said noise is coming from. It's not getting better. My shoes looked to be ok when I had the drums off a few months back. Anyone got any suggestions?
Wheel bearings come with all sorts of other fun noises and symptoms. This is most definitely brakes. Has to be. If it was bearings that had play then ANY positive pressure would make them pop. This is in drive only or moving forward only noise. Reverse has no affect on it. I'm guessing I have either a worn shoe down to metal on one side and its digging into the drum surface enough to hang up and then pop or they are way the hell out of adjustment (loose) and twist so much they are binding up.
or I have broken worn or missing hardware causing enough movement to bind the shoes on the drums.
Anyone have any input?
My best guess is the latter seeing as they were adjusted a couple months back when I did all that brake work. The shoes have to be binding up. And when there's enough torque to break them loose they go bang and I roll right along again.
