Re: Sticking Brake

First check the adjustment. Over adjusting will cause this. Also check the hardware (springs, adjuster, cable, hold downs, etc.) and backing plate. Worn out springs and a rusty backing plate can cause the shoes to stick and not self center when released. It could also be a pressure problem. I.E. restricted line or leaking wheel cylinder. Does the problem only happen at certain times? (In the morning, rain, or hot weather.) My 1995 C-30 had a horrible problem with rear noise when the humidity was high.
