I was in a hurry and left my parking break on now its gone how bad is it

Running late I left my parking brake on. I heard a loud thumping and I pulled over I didn't see anything wrong but I figure out what I did how bad did I screw up?! Please help. I have s 2004 limited with 257000 miles with the v8

 

How long did you drive like that? When you hit the brakes, do you get a thumping? If so, you need a rear brake job. Probably nothing majorly damaged.

 

No I don't but it started shaking and banging. I pulled over immediately. Brakes work fine though. I see no scoring on the rotors. I drove probably 3 min.

 

I'm with negusm. If it drives ok, which it probably does, just do a rear brake job.

 

3 min? We've all done that much. I'm guess the parking brake wasn't engaged too strongly or you'd have noticed sooner.

Don't sweat it.

 

You won't see scoring because the regular brakes is not the parking brake.

Prolly just need new pads for the parking brake I would get it adjusted again depending on how long you drove with it.

 

The parking Brakes on the 2004 are Shoe type that fit on a smaller drum inside the back of the Disc brake rotor, I would defiantly pull them and look because if one has become damaged there is a possibility for it to come apart while driving and be a problem. 13 and 14 are the parking brake shoes that go inside the small drum on the rotor (1).

 

Ok thanks that's above my skill level I'll have to get a shop to look at it
