ABSOLUTELY! its most likely one of the calipres are frozen and bad. Replace calipers and brake pads and make sure to turn the rotors as well.
they are around 42.00 each, might be cheaper where you are. REPLACE BOTH rear calipers, pads and turn rotors. IF this has drums which it shouldn't if its a 98, turn drums and replace shoes and the piston at the top where it pushes the shoes against the drum.
I Think it is rotors though and you just need to replace them.
That growling sound could be also that you have ground into the rotors with the rivets in the brake pads. Replace rotor if it can't be turned and when you buy pads, buy bonded pads not riveted pads.That will save you money in the long run.
