[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064516760, member: 2429"] I had this issue. But mine had a lot of failure points. 1. I serviced both rear calipers. Found one side (the weaker side) was not so smooth. Had dust inside and the dust cover was torn. Replaced everything and sanded off the rusty bits. Repainted calipers 2. The Handbrake cables one side was jammed. Changed both. At least both cables are the same age now. 3. At the handbrake itself, one of the cables wasn't put into the bracket there and was left hanging loose there. So whenever the handbrake was yanked it pulled one side more than the other. After adjusting the position it made things better. 4. The grommet holding the cables in the rear seat there wasn't placed properly allowing a lot of free play. This is a two-man job and I had it realigned and fitted properly. 5. Adjusted the height of the handbrake (not really related). 6. Bled the rear discs to check to see if the oil was flowing normally on both sides. Btw, I was on steel braided hoses cuz the old rubber ones were expanding like mad losing a lot of rear grip. 7. Since everything was out I changed the pads. Avoid Bendix Metal King at all costs. Doesn't bite when cold. Kinda makes handbrake pointless. If after all that still cannot - you have a problematic caliper and needs replacing. [/QUOTE]
