Yeah...
Iti s a good idea on any older car to jack each wheel and give them a spin after appliyng the pedal, b/c a dragging brake can go on for many miles without being enough to notice , but the parts will wear pre-maturely and you will also effect gas milage.
So , the test is simple , even for one who is not familiar w/brakes.

A good tool for this is those IR temp guns...you just point it to each wheel or rotor and you will see a dragging brake by comparison, after a short drive...they are cheap now.
