All,

I had my mechanic replace the ABS sensors in the rear wheels and when he put everything back, I noticed that the rear passenger brakes (2004 Maxima) were dragging so much that I had to replace all rear brakes (both pads and the rotors).

After two days of driving I noticed that the problem still exists !

Apparently the rear passenger pads are dragging on the rotors. I can visually see lot more dust on the wheels too. As far I know the mechanic did not bleed or do anything special when he replaced the brakes.

Any thoughts of what might be causing this ? And what the fix is ? Thanks !

 

An update : Guys and gals. I think I got this resolved. I researched it some more and found it out it was either the brake hose or the caliper that would be causing this. As it turned out, it was the caliper. I had it replaced and magically the gas mileage shot by 20% clearly confirming the brakes were dragging ! The wear on all the pads looks lot more even as well.
