Hey guys. Long story short: had new rotors/pads installed all the way around. right-rear caliper was seized so we replaced. ONLY problem now is the LEFT-rear, sometimes, and not very much, can grind a little bit. Not a harsh grinding but something you can barely hear. It seems to happen usually when going really slow and turning left.

any idea what this could be? could this caliper be seized?

anyone?

damnit how come I never get replies on this board? I'm sorry but I have to vent here. I've come to this board since I was 15 (I'm 19 now)... I try to help whenever I can especially on the appearance board.

Sorry to sound like a bit of a "whiner" but it's really starting to **** me off how this happens.

anyone have any ideas on my brakes? they have a very silent noise from left rear, not really a squeek more of a very quiet/mild "grinding" I noticed at the very edge of the rotor seems to be wearing a little bit more than the rest just barely noticeable.

anyone??

 

Well your attitude might play a little bit into it. You are show your lack of maturity and discipline with that last post. Now first thing is to grow-up and have discipline and patience. Its not that everyone is ignoring you but it could be that they dont have the correct information that will solve your problem. Your post has been viewed by 15 people, so people are not ignoring you.
Now that we have that under control:

I once had a brake that will do the same thing and added a little anti brake sqeak stuff. I cant think of the name of it, however they sell it at Autozone. It blue that goes on the back of the pad and dry into a rubber coating about a 1/8 inch, that will prevent the metal to metal contact of the pads.

Hope this help...

 

You said that the one side of the rotor is wearing a little more than the rest. How are the pads wearing?
