merckx Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Compare that wheel with the one on the front nearside. Have you tried to spin the wheel with the car jacked up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 As said just drive about gently for a few mins and check the temperature difference on the other side. They should be even, if not you have a binding/release problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 If the temps raising on one side and not the other, and you have juddering, you more than likely have a sticking calliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Sounds like a sticking caliper to me too. Had this about three years ago. Wheel and studs would heat up whilst driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 if it is a sticky calliper is it just a case of refurbishing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 also if that is the case where can I get a j spec calliper refurb kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I got a refurb kit from toyota, it wasnt expensive at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Just take the caliper off, 9 times out of 10 its the sliding pins that are stuck. Clean them off, re grease, job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yip as above. And the other 1 out of 10 would be a damaged piston dust cover , which would let water get at the piston, causing the piston to rust and stick against the rubber piston seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Watch it though, I think with the heating/cooling it could loosen your wheel nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
