Weird Rear End Problem
Hello all,
My 944 Turbo S has a weird problem. I was driving home when I heard a really strange noise coming from the rear. I pulled over and checked to see if I had anything caught underneath the car. As I was pulling it into the garage, the rear end locked. After going backwards a bit, it freed up again and I managed to get it into the garage.
I jacked the car up and when I turn the wheel by hand, it works fine for a rotation or two. Then it suddenly locks with a thunk. If I turn it backwards a bit, it will unlock and continue to rotate fine until it happens again.
Any idea what the problem is?

I was going to say, last time I complained about something like that, I was forced to undergo a colonoscopy.
When I got my 944, just recently, I thought the parking brake went horizontal like in a Japanese car. I was driving with it partially on for days before I realized it went all of the way to the floor.

It's even worse in my car. The horizontal bar for the roll cage just barely clears the parking brake, so I don't even notice that it is engaged.
Living in Florida, the only time I use it is when my garage door refuses to close. I set it so the car didn't roll down the driveway. I must have driven it all the way to the grocery store and back with it on.
