[s-cars] Driveline noise/vibration.....somehow related to Parking Brake seizure?

Another question guys,

I parked on a hill the other day and used the parking brake......it has been a little touchy lately, not releasing right away, but this time it held the left brake caliper enough to lock up the left rear wheel under slippery conditions coasting down the hill......it released when I accelerated and there was no excessive heat buildup on the disc later on.  This happened a few days prior to the increase in noise/vibration I'm experiencing now......any correlation?  We have had lots of weird cold/warm/moist weather cycles lately.

I guess 'll start with that side and see.......with only 106K on the clock, seems like the driveshaft theory may be premature?

Thanks again fellas..........

Jim
