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 --------------------  |

QUOTE did you do a happy dance? Not yet, I have to save step 9. I'll do one when the machanics have replaced hub and bearing. I'll even tape the dance for you, good enough?  Oh, btw thanks for all the help! -------------------- |
