ssBLACKEDOUTss Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 So im drivin, doin about 100, dissecting traffic, when I go to hit the brakes, steering wheel starts shimmying and truck is jittering, even when im not on the brakes. I pull over, and check all the brakes, fonot driver side rotor is burning hot. Thinking maybe the caliper is sticking, which means the rotor is prolly warped now. Im gona tear into it tomorrow afternoon and see if I can maybe free up the pins but not sure what I can use. Any Ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 If you can free up the pins you will have to purchase a new caliper bracket, pins and boots. When they get that hot, the pins can actually seize in the bracket. The rotors and pads are shot. I would replace the rotors, pads on the entire front. Check the pins on the other side. I only use high temp synthetic grease. With brakes come heat, I have seen so many people use normal grease and it will only solidify and cause no lubrication or protection.
