It could be a bad wheel bearing. Have you checked that out? Or the e-brake cable may need adjustment.

no never checked that. Oh yea it happened after i dropped the rear end.

I tried adjusting but it only adjusted how high the e-brake handle went up or is there another place that it could be adjusted?

Check the spring on the e-brake. Those things tend to seize with dirt build-up. And check to see that the dust shield isn't rubbing the rotor. That's all I got to say. Maybe someone else will chime in and help out.
