might indicate a jammed brake piston or uneven rotor.
working the rear piston is such a hassle and takes alot of patience lol.
from your description, it sounds like it is not releasing fully or releasing too slow.
i had the same thing about 9 years ago..right after that, I found out that the rear brake was going to be jammed (after changing new pads).

try looking at 2 areas:

1. Rear brake caliper assy (pin, piston, pads, cables); check out the condition.
2. Rear brake rotors (uneven wear , warped)

good luck

Okay great thank you, I also hear a quiet scraping noise when I brake coming to a stop and especially going downhill the noise will continue after releasing the brake.
What should I look for in the caliper and what should I do?
Also can you tell if a rotor is warped?

Spin the disc and see how it turns. If warp, as it spins can see it wave left and right

hi there, just asking anyone change to LED turning signal lights onto their cars? Normally our cars are using normal orange bulbs for the front & rear combination lamps... would love to know if there are LED type of signal lights available in the market. Saw some high end cars using this type of light and it looks pretty cool when it blinks...
