93 GJC new rear brakes grabbing?

I took a look first if I could see this in another topic but nothing really matched.
I took my jeep in the other day to get the front wheel drive hooked up and the rear brakes replaced. All sounded and felt fine untill the Jeep was really good and warmed up. Once it is warmed up the rear end shudders on corners and I can feel the back brakes grabbing.
Its winter now so I was hoping maybe it was just a case of the new brakes expanding with heat and grabbing because of that, but its only while taking turns..the sharper the worse.
I am hoping that the back brakes could just be tuned for an easy fix but I really dont know. I'm hoping someone could give me a clue to what it could be.
hopefully minor
thanks

Could be the transfer case. What was "Hooked up" in the front wheel drive, front drive shaft, linkage, TC?

the driveshaft was put back in, and all the groans come from the very back. Really sounds like brakes now but I dont know these things.. unfortunately I need to wait till tues or thurs to get it back to the shop

Re: 93 GJC new rear brakes grabbing?

hi, First i took my jeep back to the mechanic to see if brakes needed loosening. that seemed to help a bit but it wasnt totally gone.
Now i dont know if the brakes just wore in but what happened to me is i started to get this horrible noise in the front soon after, turned out I needed a new front diff. I coulnd't afford that, so my mechanic took out the front axles and front driveshaft, making it just rear wheel drive and that seemed to fix both issues.
Since im not a mechanic, maybe someone can put these symptoms together for a clearer answer.
good luck
