Dragging parking brakes, or dragging service brakes. Dragging service
brakes are usually caused by swollen hoses. Try pushing the caliper pucks
in while still on the car. If they won't push in all the way, open the
bleeder screw. if they push in then (squirting out fluid) then the hoses
are bad. If the calipers push in with the bleeder shut, then most likely
your problem is rusty parking brake cables causing the parking brake to
drag. Another heat test is if the hub gets hotter than the brake disk,
then it it parking. A sticking service brake will cause the disk to be
hotter than the hub.

You have dragging rear brakes, it's time for a caliper rebuild. You will
get better performance, better milage, and better brakes, as they are not
now working correctly.
