    Something dragging or fouling at the rear?

    Is it continuous or just during brake application?

    If you are certain its not the disks/pads or wheel bearings then check that the heat shield may be touching the disk or have something caught in it.

    Is yours the new model or the old, I think they changed around 04. If its the old shape they are front wheel drive, if its the new shape(rwd) then I'm not sure about the vito but the sprinters are prone to diffs letting go...
