Need to check if I have a bad rear bearing(s) or if the handbrake's dragging and now worn out the shoes in back

kellen, lift the entire rear and spin each wheel and wiggle the adjusters from loose and tight, etc and it should free up.
if it's a wheel bearing...it's a wheel bearing. but just a quick check

Finished cutting for the most part. I will have a few little touch ups and I need to remove part of the unibody so the control arm will not make contact, but I have a frame rail replacement laid out already just waiting for my tube steel to arrive at work.
Shot from be back:
and with tires mounted to the knuckles to check wheel placement:
Definitely not as easy as I was hoping... but I'm pretty stubborn so it WILL get done!
On a better note, my cable shifter, cables, and 4wd intermediate shaft arrived today. Now I have everything I can't buy new/remanufactured for the awd swap.89 Festiva L Carby 4 Speed... RIP. Evicted and Scrapped. I HATE MY FAMILY

I put a front motor/trans mount on my buddy's 89 automatic LX. Went to put on the rear trans mount. It didn't fit. too narrow. They only sell the rear mount for the manual. Anybody have a line on a rear trans mount? I'm considering trimming the trans to use the manual trans rear mount. Autozone, O'Reilly's, Advance, and napa only have the rear trans mount for the 5 speed. I also put steering rack boots on it and freed up the pass side parking brake.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DD
