Stuck caliper?

Alex 9 February 2005 03:39:07
 Hi,

When I drive my 1990 Civic I occasionally hear slight squealing sound,
such as if a front brake pad were touching a rotor. The sound goes away
if I slightly pull the steering wheel to the left, but comes back if I
let it go straight or slightly pull it to the right. I think that one of
the calipers gets occasionally stuck on its pin guides, but am not sure
which one it is and how to find out which one it is. Would anyone have
some suggestions on pinpointing the offending part and how to fix it
besides simply taking the front breaks apart, cleaning the guides, and
applying high temp grease to the guides?

Thank you,

Alex.

It would be advisable to check your wheel bearings.

Don't you do maintenance on your brakes, or have it done?

No, that's how you do it. It should be done regularly anyway, even if
it's not making noise. At least once a year.

 after a drive go out and spit on the lugnuts, if it sizzles you
definately have a brake dragging. is the car pulling in that
direction? i had a problem like that with my '93. it turned out
to be a collapsed flex line to the caliper.

 Your problem is probably nothing more than a piece of rust dragging on the
disk somewhere. If the caliper was hanging the pads would be wearing, the
disks warping and getting extremely hot. Stop being lazy and pull the wheel
and check it out......
