Clunk when I get inside my parked Focus

Hi there,

first time focus owner, I have a 2000 focus comfort, and when I get into my car (not turned on, parked, with e-brake engaged) I heard a clunk. also if I were to rock back and forth, a similair clunk is heard. However when I pull up my ebrake further up, the clunk goes away. Is this something I should be worried about? is it the ebrake? or just normal cold/creaks that goes along with a 10-year old car.

Thanks

Brandon

Check the rear brakes/parking brake for play or possibly a bad spring(?)? Rocking the vehicle would put strain on the parking brake system, and as you mentioned, the sound is absent when the brake isn't used.
