Best Answer

A couple things can cause the rear brakes to stick.

An frozen emergency brake cable can hold the brakes in the on position and keep the springs from retracting the brake shoes to the anchor pin.

An axle seal can go bad and allow rear end gear lube to leak into the rear brakes and soak the brake shoes with gear lube.

A wheel cylinder can freeze up and cause them to drag.

There's a couple things for you to check.

What is the difference between a stock caprice and a police caprice?

A stock Caprice has a 5.0 engine( the 305), the Police (actually called the 9C1 Caprice) Caprice has an Lt1 350, a very powerful motor that is easily modified. the 9C1 Caprice also has upgraded heavy duty sway bars, suspension, and axles with its 5 x 5 truck bolt pattern as opposed to stock 5 x 4.75 pattern. But there was also a Caprice Classic LT version which also had a LT1 V8 5.7L in 1996. And After the 1996 GM (General Motor Company) Changed that Caprice Into the Impala SS. But that Impala SS had sportier Leather Seats than LT version and Rear disk brakes, better than the drum brakes the LT's have.
