Ok, so having replaced my front discs for the third time I can notice that the rotors is being warped again. I have only driven 250 miles with my new set and I can now feel that they (or maybe just one of them) are slightly warped. I replaced the new discs with OEM toyota discs and EBC greenstuff pads. I have noticed that the right disc is much warmer that the left one. Ok, so I thought that the caliper is stuck somehow. I have overhauled all four calipers about 6 months ago. Today I took out the caliper and both sylinders, all seems fine and the slide without any prob. I can push them into the caliper body with just my fingers! I tried a testrun without no braking at all and I can say for sure that the right disk are warm (let's say about 115F), so the caliper are not retreating fully? Not working 100%? I have no more ideas, I really hope someone can help me. I am getting really frustrated
Edit: Oh, I've been really careful when braking. This post has been edited by eliaz: Jun 4, 2006 - 7:01 AM -------------------- |

sounds like i was right about the hub and bearing...mr. suspension knows allot
did u ever get in an accident and hit the side of the car or was it ever in an accident before you owned it? i had a similar case where i hit a curb, mechanics fixed what they saw, in the end they forgot the hub, it was bent and caused squeeking brakes and warped rotors..a simple test i did to make sure of this problem is: 1) jack that side 2) take off tire 3) put lugs on the spindle 4) hold a pencil up to rotor with a spare jack stand 5) have someone hold pencil 6) rotate the rotor 7) if the pencil marking skips during the rotation its bent 8) replace hub and bearing 9) do the happy joy joy dance and a sigh of relief -------------------- |
