  Probably the rubber brake line. It may not be releasing pressure properly after the first application of the brakes.
   
  Rear sway-bar bushings:
  Get a Hellwig Kit.  Call FPS and ask them to put one together.  It's a 9.5" cneter-to-center kit, if FPS hasn't already started stocking them.

Subject: [Shotimes] Rear Brake Issues, Continued

I finally got a spot of good weather to take a look at the rear 
brake on the SHO that had been causing problems. I have driven it around a few times, mindful of the issue. The brake does not appear to be stuck the same way anymore, but for some odd reason the wheel still feels slightly warm, without any smell or glowing rotor, or anything else. The rest of the wheels feel cold.

I greased the slider pins with a large amount of grease, as 
well as opening the bleeder to make sure the hose was good. Pressing the pedal squirts out fluid, so I think that probably isn't the issue either. Has anyone encountered this partially stuck situation? I guess it was good for me to look at the rear brake, because I also noticed the same side's swaybar endlink is missing the rubber piece, and is not attached to the hub!
  
Thanks,
Chris
