Last night I tried to push my car backwards out of the carport, and it seemed heavier than normal. Hmmm. Made sure the handbrake was off. Pushed it forward, no problem. Backwards, it goes maybe 3-4 feet, then stops. After repeating a few times, I could hear the right rear brake rubbing then engaging. Going forward releases it. Back when the engine was running, I never niticed any issues while backing up.

When I discovered this problem it was wet out and getting dark, so I didn't go under the car to investigate. I may have bumped something when I was working on the car earlier in the week (removed exhaust, driveshafts, shift bar).

1) Is this a known issue ? Cause ?

2) Anything quick 'n dirty I can do to make it easier to roll backwards ? I need to trailer it tomorrow AM, forward direction not an option.

TIA,
jeff
