Default Rear brake locking up!

One of my caliper bolts on back of my 3dr cossie came off saturday leaving the caliper on wonky and making the pad catch the disc.
Put a new bolt in at a mates to get me home but half way back there was a clattering sound under the car then the back end was clonking/banging slightly which got worse on the way home.

Changed the pads which were fooked and parts were down to metal which i thought may have been the sound i heard of somthing clattering etc,
After changing i went for a test drive and even as slow as 5mph when you brake the rear nearside locks up bad and the other side locks slightly.
But for some reason it only does it when going forwards and its 100% fine when you brake in reverse

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Cheers for any help
