Rob Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Do the brakes heat up, when you drive the car? Don't forget the little Y-shaped springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 Thats how we found out their binding with the dyno's temp gun, i dont have the y shaped springs on top of the pads anymore but never noticed anything bad without them. Its my left rear and the temp was high but cant remember what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 If the sliders and pistons are free I'd look at the flexi hose. Some times these can collapse slightly internally ( maybe from being clamped to prevent fluid loss during repairs) . The fluid cannot return once the brakes have been released..... causing binding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
