Most likely cause is the parking brake cable(s) hanging up, with stuck
slider pins a distant 2nd. Actually, there is no 3rd, it will be one of
those two things in 99%+ of the cases.

Subject: Re: [Shotimes] Brake dragging

I seem to be having a problem with my RR brakes dragging. Happened today
for no apparent reason other than a harder than usual stop. A few miles
later the rotor was smoking and smelling. Both the rotor & caliper were
new in late September. The e brake has not been used for months (winter)
and the pads were new.  This same problem was the reason for the new
autozone caliper, but this is the first time this has happened since the
changeout.  After cool down it seems to be OK but what caused it in the
first place with all new parts? Any ideas folks?
