2nd point i feel my car is dragging, it seems to be comming from the rear drivers side, could this be from the pads sticking ?any help is needded ..

The first question is why play with the brake cables ??
The most common problem is stiction in the rear calipers requiring them to be cleaned or replaced.
When refitting/replacing them, you must first seat the pads on the footbrake to set the automatic handbrake adjustment.
