Sticking (dragging) left front brake (9" drum)

The hand brake affects the rears only. It sounds like the left front has something not quite right with it. Either the shoes are installed wrong or the backing plate is really worn or they're too tight. Check your return springs too. It should be something fairly obvious.

Check your front strut bushings too. If they're worn on the inside it's pull, stop funny and do all kinds of bad things.
