82 rear brakes / ebrake issues
Anyone have any input on a recurring ebrake dragging mystery….all new brake components installed by pros …from master cylinder and all the way to calipers, rotors etc. all of the ebrake stuff replaced (which I never touch) and after about 50 miles of driving …hear one of the rear brakes squealing…like either the pistons are not fully retracting? I’m not touchin* the brake pedal when this is heard at slow speeds. …too weird with all the work that has been done.
input anyone… anything unusual about these yrs ?

All new parking brake parts, (never to be considered E Brake parts on these cars). Never fit correctly without remachining of parts.
Did you assemble? You know you have everything fitted up correctly?
You didn't do it yourself? Then you have no idea.
