[DMCForum] And my next question is.... (about the parking brake)

["lakelanier20" <derek4567@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alright, here's the latest "new little problem."

I had my car parked on an incline (ramps in my garage) for the past 
3 days.  The front of the car sat about 12"-14" higher than the 
rear.  Naturally, I pulled the parking brake pretty tight and put 
blocks behind the wheels.  So today, when I drove the car off the 
ramps, the "brake" light in the instrument cluster would not turn 
off when I released the parking brake handle, and there is now a 
loud squealing noise coming from the rear wheels whenever I turn the 
car to the right.  (It does not matter if this is forward or 
reverse, if the front wheels are turned right and I drive, the 
squealing is at its loudest).   I tried pulling the brake tight 
again and releasing it a few times, all to no avail.

Could this be a problem in the parking brake handle?  (confirmed by 
the light not going off -- like the handle is not releasing 
completely)  Or, do I need to attempt some sort of adjustment 
similar to what is described here:

Or something else altogether.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
