brake noise

OK. I have searched. The one possible solution is new brake line hoses or new brake caliper bolts. When I drive my car, when I first hit my brakes the car pulls to the right. When I come home to the garage the right front tire skids. After I shut the car down, I hear a bumping, grinding, bump,bump,grind, sound coming from the right (passenger side) of the car. Today I smelled an asbestos hot mell as I was driving in town. What's up? Thank you, Randy

Re: brake noise

Try replacing the brake hose. They detioriate and swell up inside and creat a one way check valve situation. And it's possible that the caliper is sticking, but not likely. Also try cleaning and lubing the caliper slid pins with brake grease.
