96 328is Passenger Rear Brake Issue


Earl

Question

This is proving to be a fun issue to try and diagnose....not. Roughly two weeks ago I did my RTABs and on the way home, I was hearing a very faint dragging sound from my passenger rear brake. When I would press on the brakes the dragging would get louder, as if the caliper wasn't grabbing hard enough. I figured I tweaked a hose during the RTAB install or I had a sticking caliper. I replaced the caliper, pads, rotor, and brake hoses. This issue still persists. I removed the hand brake shoes just to rule that out and the noises are still there. I also looked over the hardlines and do not see any kinks or damage to them. At this point I am grabbing at straws to figure out what the issue is. I figure it has to be from the rear tee to the caliper at some point. If it was anywhere before that, I would assume both rear brakes would be having similar issues. Has anyone ever experienced this or may know of what is causing it?

Did a full fluid flush with no change at all=/ Was about to swap out my master with the one from the compact but that has a 12mm front port and an 11mm rear port instead of two 11mm ports. I should be able to use an adapter to install it to do some troubleshooting as I see nothing else being the culprit=/
