[Shotimes] Rear Brake Issues, Continued

[Zach Leahy]

agreed on the brake line, it may be letting fluid go one way but not
the other....  BTW, anyone just happen to have a passenger rear (or
maybe drivers's rear.. .hmm) braided line hanging about....  Just need
that one, not the whole set.

On the Sway bar enlinks, they are avaialable from just about anyone. 
I got a very nice set from Napa the other day that are very stout. 
They are not the typical bolt, washer,sleve design, but are a netal
rod with flanges and a threaded end on either side.  I like this
design better myself, but doubt it really makes any difference who's
endlinks you use.  A pair for the rear should run $15-25.

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.

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!
