hi i have an 84 camaro stock front brake components. i have a problem with the passenger side squeaking while i drive, squeaks when i turn the wheel while driving to the left, and when i go to stop. what causes that? its onlt the passenger side. i replaced caliper, pads, rubber brake line that goes from hard to the caliper line and still does it.

 

How are the bearings?

to be honest i have no idea how to check to see if they are even bad. u know how?

 

check the brake fluid??

 

its full with brake fluid

 

Jack the car up. Grab the wheel at the 10 and 4 position and try to wiggle the wheel/tire. If there's movement, the wheel bearing is probably the culprit.

ok. i jacked the car up, theres no wiggle room there solid. i noticed that if i grab the wheel and spin itll only free spin for maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 turn and then stop. it does it with both the front wheels. while doing it theres a slight rubbing/grinding of metal to metal. is that normal? are my calipers still in the closed position? thanks

 

i looked at it again and the pads are sitting on the rotors. there new calipers, what will cause them not to retract? is my master cylinder failing or is it another problem?

 

Sounds normal.

a rubbing and scrapping noise is normal? it has quite a bit of resistance when i spin it. thats normal?

 

There'll be a slight brushing/scrapping sound from the pads lightly touching the rotors. Normal.

try pulling the caliper off one side and spin the wheel to eliminate the bearings (they may be too tight and coming apart) .
