Hey everyone,
I have been having an issue with my front right brake, and would love some help.
Issue: A few months ago I started to have the truck pull to one side when braking. It eventually turned into a grinding noise when I was braking, but also would grind a little when just cruising at lower speeds. Almost like an intermittent metal rubbing. Chocked that up to warped rotors. Bought a new rotor (and brake pads), and changed them like usual. However, When I went to compress the pistons of the caliper they were seized like there is no tomorrow. Got new calipers to install as well. When I put the caliper on I tried to gravity bleed and NOTHING came out. Figured out the metal clamp around the brake hose destroyed the line from swelling. So like the other stuff I replaced that too...
Now, I have the same issue with grinding while stopping, and still has the intermittent sound of metal rubbing while just cruising straight ahead. The pedal feels decent, but I can feel some vibration when stopping. The truck isnt pulling as bad to one side when hitting quickly either. It almost feels like the caliper is still sticking. So, what should I be looking for at this point? I figured it could possibly be #1 a bad (new) caliper #2 Master cylinder issues, but I have no leaks or other brake problems #3 Possibly a bad wheel bearing, but its not grinding when accelerating or turning. I know the pads arent backwards, or any of that stuff. Thanks in advance for the help!
