I bought my car about a month ago and just changed front pads and rotors cause they were bad! Passenger side had no pad left and a huge groove among others on the disk, drivers side the pad looked about new but the rotor was grooved. With the new pads and rotors the pass side barley went on and i had the caliper depressed the WHOLE way. Since the change the pass side burns while I'm driving and shows alot more wear and heat than the driver's side. Could this be from the pads being in the wrong order? Something with caliper travel? Or anything else you guys could think of? Thanks!

 

Sounds like u need a new caliper. Did u happen to notice if the slides on the caliper were rusty?

 

No they were fine but it did seem like it had some wobble where it slides. When I went to check it again it was tight but prolly just because I had used the brakes

 

the calipers might look good, but if there is some corrosion inside the piston cylinder or the piston, you will have problems. and you cant see that unless you remove the caliper piston. i think you have a bad caliper. i would remove the piston, clean all and put it back together. or just replace it. it all depends on the mood at that moment. also, replace all the brake fluid.

 

Thanks I wasn't in the mood to pay 50 bucks for a new caliper so that's why I asked lol but in pretty sure I need one
