nipper Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Step one, remove wheel and inspect brake. Bet you need front brakes, and from the sounds of it possibly a stuck caliper or shot wheel bearing. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Probably no material left on the brake pads. A note here when installing new pads. Rotate the caliper piston clockwise, do not compress with a clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this definatly a break problem because it does sound like a sticky VERY STICKY CALIPER Never have a very bad wheel bearing? Besdies the car is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there, and i'm up here. May be a combination of things, may just be pads.:-p As long as he is there pulling off the wheel he should check everything. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
