Rear Brakes Rubbing

[Koniz]

I am having some trouble with my rear brakes rubbing has anybody else had this kind of trouble I think it might have something to do with my Parking brake. it is only rubbing on the passenger side, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks

The ebrake is self adjusting so that's probably not it. Have you checked to see if your rotor is warped. If it's only the one side, that could be your problem.

Rubbing on the brake pads

maybe the caliper is frozen. jack up the wheel and try and spin it.

Spun the wheel, checked the parking brake cable I am thinking those sliders are seazed up and maybe needing some cleaning and lubrication if that dont work I guess I will buy new calipers.

check the e brake cabel, mine is frayed verry bad and when i use it the rear breaks freeze up, untill i drive for a while

Those rubber pieces on the caliper bracket came apart on one of mine and it caused it to seize up and drag on the rotor. I had to get a new bracket.

Directly under your ebrake handle the mount for the Ebrake has a tendancy to bend down and rub on the drive shaft. It can sound like its comming from the rear wheel.

Jack your car up and look at the Drive shaft for rub marks. I just went threw this had to remove the console drill a hole threw the floor and bend it back up to hold it firmly in place.
