What would cause my passenger front caliper bracket (the one that holds the pads) to rub against the rotor??? I had the problem last week, so this weekend i took it apart cleaned it and put it all back together. Now i hear it doing it again when i make a left turn. Has this happened to anyone else???? Thanks in advance.

 

Is the caliper jammed?
This happened to me once before, I was getting on the highway and decided to test the new suspension a bit so I went about 65 in the on ramp which was a pretty sharp curve. Anyway, half way through I had to hit the brake a bit, seconds later I heard the evilest noise ever. It was like the noisemaker when your breakpad is about done only like 50 times louder. Anyway, I freaked out and pulled over and went and checked and the caliper was still closed up, after a few pumps of the break it opened back up and has been fine since. Must have been something with the speed,turn, and brake amount I applied.

Anyway your sure its rubbing and its not just the pad maken noise? When you took it apart did you push the piston back out?

 

I don't think its the caliper. When i took it apart, the top inside of the bracket was shiney where it was hitting the rotor. It is definitely a grinding noise and not a high pitched squeal.

 

up to the top for a new day.
