ok, so ive replaced my brake caliper and the hose going to the caliper with a working used unit after i had issues with the passenger rear wheel dragging, the new (used) unit is doing the same exact thing, im guessing the only explination is that the e-brake cable is possibly dragging also.

does this sound like good logic? or should i buy a brand new caliper and try again?

i set the emergency brake every time i park (6mt) and the only way ive noticed to get it un-stuck is to do a good hard power stop (foot pushing brake pedal as hard as i can) and then release the pedal and normally it isnt dragging anymore, sometimes i can feel it "pop" when it releases either way a slightly dragging rear tire in the snow this morning was not a good thing.

Remove the ebrake cable you do know that the cables on our cars seize up

 

I had the same happen to my max Matt. I replaced the caliper, but the problem persisted. The passenger rear wheel dragged after leaving my e-brake up over night and temperature would drop below 32. After doing some research on the .org, I found out that the problem was actually the cable. I have a brand new OEM parking brake cable I was going to install on it before it got totaled. I paid $90 for it but I'll sell it to you for $40. PM me if interested.

Change rear calibers. That's what happened to me. Rockauto.com

 

My bad. Lol

 

as long as you can wait till income taxes ill take you up on that, i wish we could have gotten together before your car was taken, i would have swapped my shocks/struts and added your catback and rear swaybar to my car and given you some cash to go along with it.

still going to attempt buying it if i can find someone to bid on it for me.

I can wait man, no problem.

 

For what is worth, sometimes re-lubing the caliper sliding pins does the trick.
