Thanks for all the support!
The first thing I noticed, while trying to drive to the inspection location was a loud squeal coming from the left rear wheel.
Sounded like a stuck brake. The pedal was not returning to its nominal position after pressing, so it seemed like a good place to start.
I took up the carpet to find what I'm guessing a lot of folks find: rust. Not horrible, but definitely the place to begin.
New pedal package bearings and other components on the way! Meantime, I need to come up with a rust strategy. Open to any suggestions . .
