[QUOTE="WNRacing, post: 14035896, member: 67836"] Hey guys, I've been dealing with this for what seems like forever and just can't find any answers. Sometime probably 2-3 years ago I started hearing a dragging sound from the rear passenger side of the car, hearing this I stopped driving the car immediately and started tearing into it trying to figure out what the problem was. I ended up replacing the axle bearing and the sound was still there. After driving the car for a couple of days trying to diagnose the problem I noticed that there was a groove appearing in the rotor so I replaced the caliper, rotor, and pads bleeding the brakes at the same time. Sound was still there.. Ended up disconnecting the parking brake cable and boom, problem was gone. Finally this week while upgrading to cobra rear brakes I put new OEM cables (left and right) on and guess what?... It's still dragging. I'm at a loss.. My parking brake has plenty of tension, no slack at all. I've researched this for quite a while now and the only conclusion that I can come up with is that my parking brake is too tight and just simply not allowing the caliper to fully disengage. [B]There has to be some way to adjust some tension out of the parking brake right? [/B] All help would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you. :bowdown: [/QUOTE]
