FlyScooby Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 My 86 GL Wagon seams to have a front passenger caliper that seams to be putting pressure on my new rotor. I'm not sure if the piston is locking up, and/or the bad CV outer and inner joints are affecting the geometry. I suppose it is possible that my piston was not set correctly. Would it be more the bad CV joints or a bad caliper? The wheel bearings seam to be fine. On my first soob I think I had the same problem, but that was do to frame rail rust affecting the geometry. I don’t know if this is the case here. The caliper seams to flop around. Anybody have any ideas? S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 if the piston is not turned in all the way, the caliper will not go on. yo have the caliper installed, right? could the parking brake lever be hanging up? how was the piston seal?

myossfeece Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 be sure that you have the parking break released when turning the caliper piston in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyScooby Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 I probably did not make myself clear. The caliper is aready installed. When I installed it i set the piston as far as it would screw flush. I don't think this is the problem though. I think it is the bad cv joints causing the rubbing. And yes, the parking brake was disengaged before setting piston. More Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
