Check the backing plate for wear grooves.

Subject: [AMC-list] Brake Issue 1980 Spirit

I have a 1980 Spirit, 258 auto, Model 15 rear. For several years now I have 
had a problem where the right rear brake won't release. This usually occurs 
after being parked for a while. When brakes are first applied there is a 
"clunk" from the right rear, and that's when it occurs. It does not lock - 
the car is still driveable, and often releases gradually while driving. I 
have replaced everything on both rear sides many times, which seems to fix 
it for a short time. The parking brake seems to work fine, and the car stops 
normally with no pulling, chatter, or pulsating.

Any ideas?
