Brakes sticking/rubbing a little

***TitaniumTT*** · 06-18-2010, 11:23 PM

So here's something rather strange - I thought I had a sticking caliper in the front. Exhibited all the normal signs so I bought a replacement. Put that on, same fucking problem. I thought, that's odd, buuuuuuuuut I've bought defective brake rotors in the past so off it comes.
When I went to take the caliper off I got lucky and noticed that the caliper, the caliper was touching the rotor. That's what was sticking. After driving a bit it did loosen up but that's becuase the rotor chewed into the aluminum caliper and freed itself. I removed the shim and the thing works perfectly.
Turn's out that the ABS rims that I got in trade from a forum member were bent. He shall remain nameless because I'm pretty certain he either didn't know or they got damaged in shipping.
Just one of those things. Those odd motherfucking things that could only happen to my prissy little bitch
