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.

Re: Sticking Brake
Thanks for the reply. Will open it up. It doesn't happen much, the left rear is doing it once in a while when you're going 10 mph or less when you're going staight or turning left and you jab the brakes. Not a panic stop, just half way.
