i do park in gear all the time. my driveway has a slight hill and i dont like the sounds of my gears rubbing.
so, is it a cable problem or caliper problem?
thanks

its probaly both, especially for me. my ebrake problem fucked up my rear right brake assembly. my e-brake doesnt hold for shit in neutral anymore either. if you open your center console and take the fuzzy cover thing out of the way you can see how cockeyed the cables are.

people on some other forum say i might need new pads for the rear. could this be a possible solution???
btw, i currently do use rubber stops under the front wheels to prevent from rolling away.

before when my e-brake did work, the rear calipers would always stick to the rotors. i think that the prblem may be related......
