Emergency brake issues... cables uneven?

On my 1995 900s...
Past couple of days my brakes were making noise and squealing at slow speed and I suspected the rear because I would pull the e-brake up a notch while driving and the noise/squealing would stop.
Today I replaced rotors pads and e-brake shoes and noticed that on the passenger side, the old trailing shoe was worn crooked and sitting at an odd position. The springs and retainers were intact but it looked all messed up.
When I reassembled everything the driver side was smooth an trouble free but on the passenger side I couldn't get the rotor over the shoes without slightly pulling on the right side cable which allowed the new trailing shoe to sit flush against the backing plate, the adjuster was all the way in and it was still a little work to get the rotor over the shoes.
With everything buttoned up and the tire mounted, the e-brake was still slightly dragging while the driver side spun freely.
My dilema is that if I give it more slack at the turnbuckle, it gets worse. I noticed that at the turnbuckle, the passenger side cable had quite a bit more slack than the driver side.
Is it more likely to be a problem with the cable or the brake shoe expander?
