So I have a little bit of squeeking in the pass rear wheel while driving, sounds like pads, but it doesnt go away or change (much) while braking. Semi racing pads. New bearings (1k miles or so). I dont feel a drag (while rolling to a stop), but its a a bit harder to roll than my CRX so I think there may be some dragging. Calipers were rebuilt 6 years ago and have been sitting most of the time. No proportioning valve. Fresh fluid in ~ 4 years ago (sitting since). Parking cables are disconnected.


What should I look for when I have it on the lift? I am going to adjust the rear brake clearance and test function of the rears. (They were adjusted when fluid went in 4 years ago, but Who knows if its still in spec).

Thanks all!
Andrew

When I first bought my 75 the po had done a rear brakejob on it. I trailered it home. While my son and I was driving it through the neighborhood we noticed a sound sorta like the old playing card in the spokes but only once for each revolution. My son got out and walked beside the car and determined it was the right rear wheel. I got out and sure enouigh while it was stopped I found the hardline rubbing the brand new tire. Enough that it had already worn through the line. How in hell it got that way, I don't know but it was sure messed up. I might have snagged it while I drove it on the trailer.
