yes, if the brakes are dragging you could cause bad wear on the rear tires, like the brake pad making them wear out faster then they should

to replace the cable just get the car up in the air. You only have to drop the heat sheild to get to the from of the rear cables. just use a punch to release the old cable, you will see how the clips work when you get new ones. start from the front and put the cable in, hook it to the equilizer bar, then run the cables and connect to the calipers, it pretty straight forward, the hardest part is getting the cable connected

if you like you could just cut the end off the cable at the caliper, when i got my 99 the one brake was dragging so we cut the one cable so it wouldn't drag, rear brakes were shot but at least the previous owner knew what was going on and wasn't using the paking brake, that will allow you to make the trip without unneeded wear on parts
