Check your u-joints; but if you're saying the ebrake adjuster is rusted, change that first; just give your driveline a good twist/shake to make sure that's solid.

I unknowingly bent a D/L several years back; didn't know it until the rear pumpkin started wallowing out. Bed just shook like crazy. Keepers let go. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Once you R&R the adjuster, back up slowly a few times while slowly pulling the ebrake; release; repeat. It'll take a bit of doing, but you'll get there.
