Brakes are fine as I just finished doing a full brake service. I had not checked the pads in a long time and for some reason the warning strip did not contact the rotor on the driver side to warn me so the first I knew I needed new pads was the sound on pad metal on the rotor. Needless to say I also had to replace the driver side rotor as there was scoring due to this although I stopped driving the car soon after I started hearing the noise.
So then I took some time to service the system. New pads, new rotor on the driver side, caliper pins greased with new grease, removed the rear drums and cleaned everything out and also inspected the shoes. Then replaced the fluid with new fluid - the old fluid was looking quite dirty and was several years old. In the process ended up rounding the nut on one of the bleed screws so had to get a new one and replace.
But at no time did I find any dragging brakes. I've yet to try swapping the rear tires - will do that this weekend.
