Rear Passenger Side Brake Sticking

Rear Passenger Side Brake Sticking

Postby KingKevin » Mon Dec 19, 2011 11:55 am

Hey guys. Haven't been on here in a while. Ive been busy at college and you're not allowed to bring your car to collage :/ anyways I just got back for winter break and drove my car. Sidenote: I love the solara and I've definitely missed it! but anyways the rear passenger side brake seems to be sticking. The reason I say this is because when I got out of my car I could smell a little burning smell. The rear passenger rotors were EXTREMLY hot. You could feel the heat from probably a foot away. None of the other rotors ever got that hot at all. After having discovered this I took off the wheel and disassembled the caliper to clear out any dust and whatnot. Then I tried spinning the rotor and it really seemed to be spinning freely with the caliper and brake pads back on. I thought the problem was solved... However I go for a little test drive for probably a couple of miles and boom it happens again when I get out of the car. Why are the brake pads sticking?! and what can I do about it!?

Thanks in advance

Yeah I relubed the sliding pins, but I don't think that was the problem anyways. I think it had to do with my e-brake. I brought it to my friends who is much more mechanically inclined than me and he fixed it for me so im good now. Thanks for the help anyways!
