1990 240sx.

Sometimes when I have just started the car and released the parking brake.....I backup and hear brake noises. Kind of a grabbing, squealing sound.
Is the parking brake dragging? I checked the pads and they are tight.
But I was told I should reglue them or change the clips.

it could be a seized piston, thats wat is happening to me right now.

exact same problem too.

you will need to find urself some other good used rear calipers. should be easy to find since you have an s13.

S13 rear calipers have that problem. Replace both as a set.
