Sorry to not have better news for you.

Yes . . . exactly what he said . . .

AND ALSO

or you'll create another problem with those new wheels . . .

Warranty doesn't usually cover this type of problem . . .

Re: clicking in the rear end

I pulled the caliber off today. 2 springs on each side came out.

Re: clicking in the rear end

Looks like this can be easily remedied with a trip to a scrap yard that has a Crossfire, and some shorter wheel bolts next time.

It would appear you need two pull-back springs (A 201 423 06 92) and while you're replacing them, I'd pick up and replace the four extension springs (A 201 423 05 92) that hold the brake shoes to the backing plate as well since it looks like the lug bolts got ahold of them too.
