just a question, someone from here told me to touch my rotors after about 10 minutes of driving, if their hot then i have a sticking caliper or something, so i went to the tire shop to change my front passenger tire because it was ripping, i touched all the rotors and all of them were fine except for the front passenger which was kinda hot and sticky feeling. does that mean i have a dragging caliper or something? When they lifted that wheel up, i tried to spin it to see if its sticking, and it was kinda hard to spin and would only spin about half a turn or so before it stopped for about 1.5 seconds. is that how much its supposed to spin or should it spin more freely? sry for this stupid thread but i couldnt really find an answer to this question just by searching, please dont flame me, thanks..

 

look at the rotors and pads, you would see MUCH more wear on a sticking caliper compaired to the rest of the wheels.

 

u know wats funny, wen my man changed my pads, the one im saying was hot and sticky was the one that was WAY MORE worn and cracked then the other one.. hmm maybe it is sticking, wats the way to solve a sticking caliper? lemme guess... SEARCH RITE? i just want a personal opinion thats it...

 

You could try cleaning and greasing it again.

If that does not work, get a new caliper.

 

around how much does a caliper cost? is it covered under warranty?

 

lol i know this sounds stupid but wat exactly is the brake caliper which part? wud u happen to have a picture?

 

Dude you don't need a Maxima, YOU NEED A BICYCLE!

 

omg, here we go again, WTF is it with u people u seriously have nothing better to do than flame?

 

My bike has calipers and rotors.

 

Brake caliper is the metal object attached to the rotor. Inside there is a piston which push the pads to meet the rotor. Before the flaming begins, all the auto parts stores like NAPA, Autozone...etc sell re-manufactured calipers, give them a call. If you want a new OEM one, contact Dave B, or Courtesy Parts. And if you warranty is over, which I think it is given your car is an 02, it won't be covered.

 

Are you f'ucking serioius.....You start another f'ucking thread and you asked the same damn question on that thread. Wow you really need to sell your car and start walking or something.

 

im still under warranty, so is a caliper a warranty part? wat about rotors?

 

here we go again, you REALLY dont have nething better to do, i didnt ask that question in there until someone brought it up, all were doing in that thread is arguing cuz u and soonerfan are *****ing like little girls so i madea a diff one to get REAL answer, now please, dont turn this thread into a repeat of the other and just stay out and go suck a **** or do something useless with ur spare time cuz obviously u have alot of it..

 

This is when you call the dealer and ask for an appointment.

dmpesso, it seems a lot of people are against you and I believe you were recently banned. Please take this as simple advice, your car and my car has been out 5 years now. Everything that breaks commonly on our cars has happened already, thus there will be a thread by another person, the solution, and the cost of repairs. I suggest you to just donate $20 to the site, take advantage of the search function, and look up your problems. E-thugging and saying how you would beat people senseless in your other thread will only get you banned again. You have to realize that w/o people like soonerfan, n00bies would create 100+ threads daily on "which intake is best? which exhaust is best?...etc" and no one likes to spoon feed the same information over and voer again.

 

i have a suggestion... TAKE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS TO YOUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER! I AM SURE THERE IS ONE IN NEW YORK CITY! A service advisor will be happy to answer all of your questions, no matter how stupid they may be. Dealerships exist for a reason.

 

Drive your car for a while and use the brakes. take the westside highway or eastside highway and make a few 55-0 stops. Get out of the car and judge the heat difference between the brakes. If you have a caliper that is not releasing that brake area will be scorching and you will probably be able to tell or smell it even.
